Genesi : 'How we see things'

[seer]

we will offer a EULA-free hardware platform

What do they mean ? (Guess they mean any OS can run on the Peggy, but I'm not sure)

So, yes, I am going to mention Amiga Inc. It is simply the most relevant example of multiple apparent changes of face and strategy - and the community has paid dearly for all of the incidents, those remembered and those forgotten and overlooked.

And you honestly didn't think nobody was thinking "flamebait" ?? Sorry, but HMetal has a point, this is news about MOS, no reason to jump on Amiga Inc.. (A good example why some people are going to amigaworld and don't look here anymore...)

[seer]

So I'm curious, where is the big differentiator? Why would a company want MorphOS over the alternatives?


Smaller then *nix (less resource hungry), closed source (Which for some people can be a big +), perhaps more stable (Don't know) and more end user friendly... Maybe not a reason a big bussines makes it decision on..

@Greenboy,

It's not a bad thing to have an in-house, light footprint OS in constant development, one that incidentally has Amiga 3.1 API capablities to start with (though that also carries its burdens).

? I wasn't saying anything about this (..being bad..), I was trying to answer ssollie's question on why a compagny would want to boot into MOS... I just forgot to put an @ssollie above it..

Again, thinking in longer terms, MorphOS has the potential to morph into much more than a legacy replacement with extensions...

The potential... That's the keyword.. As long as MOS hasn't reached that potential yet (It may be fine for the average home user now, or the non mainstream user) but for a bussiness it's to risky to gamble on a platform this young and unproven..

Like the dual boot Windows "problem", what would you do ? Boot Linux and run major office packages and industry standard software or boot into an "unknown" OS with very little support so far while the competion and "your" would be customers use the industry standard sollutions ?
