AdmVs pessimistic assessment of the situation

I guess we all know how precarious the "Amiga" marketplace is, and in fact has been for some time.

AdmV posted a critical summary (rant) of his/her views of the situation on ANN and it makes interesting reading for market watchers.

It got me thinking - what if the unthinkable happens? What if the AOS4 project folds AND the MorphOS/Pegasos project folds in 2003? What next?

I guess AROS but that does not seem to get even
a tenth of the community investment that it deserves.

What is everyones C-Plan? What alternatives to
MOS/AOS do you think will work or is the last chance
for all these people to be considered part of the same community again?

@John

We have a problem where a small unit of people constantly 'spin' this crap. If it isn't one thing, it's another. Then, suddenly, (nearly) everyone gets enraged and demans a personal explaination from the head of the company.

Ive noticed that too. But then OTOH if the CEO
makes themselves available when everything else
is going wrong for personal discussion people start
to believe they have rights.

Actually our CEO *is* the one that gets the calls when
things go wrong and they aren't getting fixed by the
people on the ground.

But you have strayed a little off the topic here. We are talking about what *IF* AOS4 and MorphOS fail
this year ... what each person will do. AdmVs rant
is just showing why I am thinking about this right now.

Personally I haven't made my mind up. I thought I
knew ( Linux ) but Im bored with that direction now
having explored it as far as I want to go. Probably
something small and lightweight and incomplete like
SkyOS.

I would hope that all ( most ;-) ) of us are mature
enough to debate this without getting personal or
making flaming remarks about MorphOS and AmigaOS given that this is a hypothetical discussion
which precludes the situation where both solutions
have failed for some unstated reason.
