amigaguy gave, as his
opinion:
. . . but if you want to sell more then a few thousand copies of your OS then you need to look at targeting the 100s of millions of computers out there and there(sic) all x86
I fail to conprehend your argument here - these users are quite 'happy' with
their Winblows, and are unlikely to even realize that
there are alternative options!
. . .People seem to think AmigaOS couldn't compete in the x86 market?
Different market - a highly GENERIC one!
WTF?? If you can't get people to buy AmigaOS for say $99 bucks to run on their current computer then HOW IN THE HELL do you think you can get them to pay $99 for Amiga OS and $1000 + for a 'special' computer to run it on?
Blame Napster ... and you TOTALLY ignor the LARGE problem of having to support ALL the differnt (sometimes incompatible) expansions and options which is SO VARIED that even Linux can't do it!
People might fork out $99 to buy AmigaOS or MorphOS, but no one other than a few old and a few thousand of the current Amiga die hards are going to buy a "Special" computer to run it on. No Chance!
Going by your
reasoning,
Macs and
MacOS-X MUST not even exist!?!
Wait! It (System + OS) does ... you're shot down!
