I'm not particulary "red" or "blue", but now what makes AOS4 any more Amiga than MorphOS?

Its based on AmigaOS source code

Why is that so important?

If I write a Copymem() function and you write a Copymem() which accept the same arguments and return the same result... what is the difference?

its a licensed Amiga product

What does that mean?

A bunch of guys with a prophensity to lie and spend other peoples money have given it their blessing... What use is that?

its the official successor to OS3.9

What does oficial actaully mean? or rather, what value does it provide.


I'm not getting at you Peter, but these are questions I asked myself, and why I don't support Amiga Inc.

Personally, I just think OS4 is really good. Thats what matters to me .;-)

That's all that should matter... and if that's your official line I'll support you :-D

We don't yet know for sure that it is w/o AInc.

I meant that to be without "amiga" in the name. I guess I goofed on the subject line. The whole point of this thread was along the lines of how not being owned by a company called by an "amiga" name doesn't make AOS4+ any less "Amiga". To make it not "Amiga", you'd have to find a company who's making something and just calling it "Amiga". Like Genesi. Sure, they're calling is MorphOS, but everyone knows what they're really trying to do is to pretend to the throne. They tried to get the Amiga name at one point, so one can only assume that they were thinking of announcing that "MorphOS is now going to be called AmigaOS".

Anyhoo.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
