A bright future for Amiga?

A bright future for the Amiga ?

Maybe, but only trough MorphOS

Supporting Amiga Inc right now is hard.  They have an expensive LinuxPPC motherboard.  They claim to be shipping AOS4 someday.  They need a product.  I want an Amiga as much as the next guy.  But, I'm not going to MorphOS, I want an Amiga! If I wanted a platform to run Amiga binaries the WinXP w/ AmigaForever or UAE offers more bang for the buck then MorphOS and I need Windows to support most of the stuff I do at work so it has to be in my home.  So if Amiga Inc. doesn't succeed with OS4 there's always Amiga emulation that's more cost/price effective then MorphOS especially seeing as then I'll have 1 system instead of 2.  I'm hoping for OS4 and a price reduction.

I have some difficulties to understand you opinion.

You said you want an Amiga. but what is an Amiga for you, something with the Amiga logo or something which make you feel like on an amiga when using it ?

MorphOS is the logical next step on the AmigaOS:
- PPC
- prepare for the future
- made by Amiga fan.
- Running on a PPC computer design by ex Phase5.

It's true than an high-end PC will make AmigaOS 68k running faster than on the Pegasos I, but native PPC software are really fast.
The Pegasos is that you seen to be looking: rather cheap with MorphOS to make you AmigaOS apps running.

PS: not trolling, but just talking.

. AmigaONE/AmigaOS4 is more amiga than pegasos/morphos will ever be.... unless genesi manage to buy out AmigaINC that is..

The AmigaOne is a MAI teron CX resells by Eyetech.
The Pegasos is desgined by bPlan (ex-Phase5) and made by DCE.

The only amiga part in AmigaOne is the name.

Which one is more close to the Amiga ?

Nico,
     Once AmigaOS4 PPC software comes out will MorphOS be able to run them?  I'm doubtful that this will be the case.   I'd be interested in a lower cost PPC hardware, perhaps Pegasos-II, running AOS4.

There is no point to make OS4 running under a Pegasos  II while you have MorphOS.

   But, if I want the look and feel of an Amiga, but can't have an Amiga, why would I choose MorphOS over AmigaForever?   Especially if AmigaForever runs the same software and faster?  Sure it's not PPC but I don't care I get more performance and a much greater performance/$ so what's the overriding factor to choose MorphOS?

Well, you have to use Windows to use AmigaForever, it's not that I call a real alternative...

 The want is an Amiga, because that's the OS I like the best.

Then you will like MorphOS, TEST IT !

MorphOS preparing for the future --- questionable if it'll be able to run OS4.x PPC software any better then OS4 will.

When I say prepare for the future, I mean I speak about the future Q-Box.
Well, for the moement, there are a lot of more MorphOs native software than AmigaOS4. So it should be better to be MorphOS compatible.
Moreover, MOS is compatible with PowerUP and WarpOS.

If you haven't already, you should really test MorphOS, it's like the AmigaOS in a user point of view. Just FFFFFAAAASSSSTTTTEEEEERRR

nico: and who made so many leave amiga in the first place ?  PHASE 5/DCE!  , they produced so much crap in the ppc sector that people lost interests and moved away!.

Phase 5 made a lot a stuff for the Amiga. Like the CyberVision Series, the CyberStorm series or the Blizzard Series.
Phase 5 brang PPC to the Amiga.

This is my opinion, but you are free to give you argument.

amigaos4 will RULE! , when it comes..

I don't think so. Did you read the AmigaOS 4 architecture article on os.amiga.com ?

sure pegasos 2 is interesting, sure morphos is interesting, but linux/windows/mac  AINT! , the most insteresting is OS4! ,the single reason why i stayed on amiga.. THE OS and the stuff around it.

Take a moment to figure out, and you will notice, I think, that MorphOS is THE AmigaOS Next Generation.

amiga has a bright future? , YES is my answer.

In my own opinion, maybe, but with MorphOS.

I don't really want to make another huge OS4 vs MOS troll thread. Just want to debate in peace :-)
So please not flame, just opinion and arguement !

I think, it's good to debate but bad to troll.

[NicoPPC]

The Terron/AmigaOne PPCs are the biggest-selling non-Mac PPC hardware! Don't forget that the motherboard can be bought cheaper for purely Linux running!

Humm, I don't think so.
In my opinion, it's the Pegasos. But noone can't be sure, has noone as the good "number".

Futhermore, the Teron CX/AmigaOne had, and certainly still have big hardware problem.

QNX on Pegasos might be a better solution than MorphOS. I'd certainly prefer QNX over Linux :-D

I was spaking of the Amiga future.
I only tested QNX once on a x86. I don't really have an opinion about it, but a lot of people say it's a good OS.

Muahahaha! Lamma lamer mania eh NicoPPC.

Please no troll, debate. I can't see any good debate in that sentence.

My post has more sense than your  :roflmao:

Yes, I can see that in all the argument you gave.

Why i am positive? Why be negative? In the past years was wrost... now we have new Amiga, a kick.ass OS4 soon....
 

How can you make an opinion on an OS without using it daily ?

I'm a daily Linux user, I have an opinion about Linux
I'm a daily Windows user ! (sad !), I have an opinion.
I'm a daily MorphOS user, I have an opinion.

For the other OS, I look into architecture description, commentes form user ...
I can't really see any interresting stuff in AmigaOS4 compare to MorphOS ATM.

You can prefer OS4 over MorphOS. But, give me some arguments, please, no trol
