OS4 on PS3

[drHirudo]

Or, we can make a new Workbench running on standard hardware, with a real kernel, and a completely new shell and multimedia tools, and kill all this political anti-Intel BS.

Ok, go ahead, create your own, just don't try to enforce your (flawed) opinion onto others. I am sure people like Dammy will welcome you there. Don't forget to close the door on your way out.

Look where it got them, nowhere.

Much better than the solutions you implied - AROS - useless OS with no software; MorphOS - underdeveloped and dead OS with no new software either.

Yeah you have OS4 and quite a few Amigaones out there but that is it.

Yep it's at least something, compared to the other similar choises. If you want and like the Amiga, that's it. If you don't - there are much better places to go.

You made your bed, now lie in it.

Sure, I happily sleep in my bed, do you feel comfortable in yours?

To the "why no AOS 4 on x86" crowd: - it's Hyperion's effort, they can decide whatever to do with their child.

humppa, hardware is nothing without software, boy. You can buy the fastest PC available install AROS on it and watch your icons all day, but you will feel bored pretty soon, I am sure. Oh, well, you can try to port some neat software to AROS, but you can't do this directly on it, you have to install Linux. The Morphos-compatible platforms are as much outdated in specs as the AmigaOnes, and even if you run MorphOS on they, you will find that you switched to Linux faster than you thought. That's why I said if you like and want Amiga, AmigaOS 4 is the only choise which still have some hope (and future) left in it. If you want Linux or something else, buy PC and be happy.

So what's the difference between MorphOS and OS4 concerning software abundance?

There were times when the MorphOS software was more but now it's the vice versa - on the PD front:
MorphOSNews - 675 items.
OS4Depot.net - Total files: 908
AROS Archives - Total files: 35 (irrelevant).

AROS is still a developers OS - and you know it. Developers like to code (you should know that yourself) and don't want to stare at icons all day.

Huh, developers OS on which you can't develop!?!

That's not what I am seeing. I see people who are happy to have a platform that is able to run multiple operating systems.

Any link to these people so I can see them. What I see on MorphZone is mostly whining and sometimes trashing AmigaOS.

So funny that you construct this as a disadvantage.

Buying Pegasos for multiple OSes is silly. PC box runs the same and even many more OSes, faster. With only one exclusion (MorphOS), but it's irrelevant.

Because... Linux or other OS dont run so well on it? Is that the reason why it's "the future"?

How much I have to repeat that buying Pegasos or AmigaOne for Linux is silly, since you can run Linux on much cheaper box, and you won't care about the endian problems which may arise on the PPC when porting x86 software?

[drHirudo]

Nice stats. Here are even more "drastic" ones: upload stats by architecture *cough*
So how does this relate to your statement "hardware is nothing without software"? Are both platforms equally dead?

If you say so.

I can't believe that the OS4 future will be a very prosperous one if I look at the hardware situation.

What's up with the hardware situation. My hardware works fine.

Maybe it's some kind of colour-blindness that occurs if you hang around on AW.net for too long.

You didn't answer my question. I read MorphZone from time to time.

Yeah, having a platform which is only able to run one single OS is better, good point, NOT.

If this is the OS I want, then it's much better. Other OSes are as much irrelevant to me as much to the people who bought PCs for WindowsXP and neither care, nor give any shit about other OSes, available for x86. Or as much as I care running anything other than Symbian on my N-Gage.

Are you an incarnation of Rogue?

Tsk.

I heard that there are people who bought a Pegasos because of MorphOS and because of general interest in a PPC-based platform.

Sorry but people implies plural, not singular, but bbrv said the he sold only one Pegasos for MorphOS with the ODW program in the last months. Who to believe?
