MorphOS have this design already. And IMHO i'm not sure you'll have so much benefit to not use it for the first version of OS 4. I still wondering why you choose a design you claim to be better when you'll need to change it in the future anyway??? For me it's far from being rational.


You know, for me it really doesn't matter alot about this.  What I want is PPC native apps for OS4 more than old apps that I can run under emu.  At some point, it makes sense for this to not even be in the OS. So ten years from now are you still going to be carrying around old code for AmigaOS 3.X compatability?  The big difference here is that Thendic/bPlan are trying to capture the Amiga community to run only up to OS3.x code.  Anything beyond 3.x is not going to run on Morphos.  That's not to say that they wont have anything to run on the native PPC side.  The only thing people can do is to look at the PPC native stuff for both Morphos and OS4 and see which one suits their tastes more.  The two will always be separate and incompatible products.  But for me, I will choose the official OS version.

And that will be EXACTLY the same with AmigaOS4. AmigaOS4 will emulate ALL the 68k (no 680x0 chip on AmigaOne) and custom chips (no AGA chip on AmigaOne) applications. So, by following your argument : "AmigaOne, at best it is an Amiga-like OS (well, it should be since it emulates an Amiga environment)."...


Also, it will not emulate the whole 68k OS.  Much of the ORIGINAL AMIGA OS is re-written in PPC native code.  That is what makes this The Official One.

As was said, there won't be - if at all - any OS4-only versions of your favorite applications in the near future. And all the other stuff, including Power-Up and WarpOS PPC software, is running on MorphOS already.


See, this is the kind of thing that just keeps coming from the MOS supporters.  You perport to know the very details of when OS4 will be available and even as to what PPC applications are going to be available.  Truth is, you don't know either of the two things you just stated as fact.  But you figure that by stating so adamantly that it is the truth, you will make people suddenly say "Oh yeah, now I see MorphOS is the way"

So glad that you can predict the future so well.  I have no problems with people who want to use MOS, but stop trying to convince the rest of us that it is the next Amiga.... It simply is NOT.   I don't care how "Amiga-Ish" it is, or how much in "spirit" it is.

LOL Basically you say: Don't try to convince me something because I'am just trying to convince the exactely opposing thing.


Absolutely not true.  I could care less if you want to use MOS or Linux or any other OS.  That is a matter of your own taste.  But I'm sick of the spam threads from MOS supporters trying to imply that they are the true next Amiga.  Simple as that!  Go support your MOS, use it, be happy with it.  That's perfectly fine with me, just quit trying to get it supported by riding on Amiga's coat tail.  Let it stand as a product of it's own merit.  It will ultimately succeed or fail by that alone.

The Name™! The Name™!! THEEEE NAAAAAME™!!!!!!!

uuuung! UUUUUUUNGGGG!!!!

You corporate zealots are sad pathetic little creatures!



About as pathetic as you parasitic little creatures, I would assume.  Go build yourself a MOS support site, or better still, let your saviour BB&CO do it for you with all their endless cash flow to produce things.  I could care less about the name Amiga.  They could call it Pedigree for all I care.  But it is the one based on official Amiga code, and that's why I choose it.  Why do MOS supporters insist upon staying in the Amiga forums?

Does it hurt so much that MorphOS may be the AmigaOS PPC some people always wanted ?


Doesn't hurt me a bit.  It's not AmigaOS PPC and it NEVER WILL BE!  Not unless Geneside buys Amiga INC. out and makes it that way.

MorphOS is so far the closest AmigaOS system we ever had on recent HW.  Why should we ignore it ?


Because Amiga needs one unified direction to move forward, not half a dozen different variations that are all doing thier own thing.


Quote
Just because mister herewegoagain do not like that Amiga themselves have not been able to do such a OS as for now ?


Exactly the kind of comment I would expect from a MOS fanatic.

Quote
- I run MorphOS everyday on my Amiga


good for you

Quote
- I run all my Amiga apps with it


again, good for you

Quote
- It is done by the Amiga people that provided the first 68060, UWSCSI, PPC, RTG and other stuff to the Amiga


Doesn't matter, it's irrelavent.

BOTH sides has blind followers but you can not ask the people to shut up when they want to to share their experience.


Making posts of "News Items" that make it sound like you have control over Amiga's IP is not sharing an experience.  It is complete and deliberate stirring of trouble.  It the creation of FUD.  We all know the reason this was done, and why it was done at this time.  Don't try to pretend you cannot see how wrong this is.  It's this very kind of tactic that makes me sure I will NEVER purchase anything from BB & RS.  Rest assured!
