Pegasos - MorphOs Review on Osnews.com

[Kees]

Osnews.com did a review of the Pegasos running MorphOS1.3

"So, the hardware is slick, but what is the hardware without the actual software, right? Currently, with the Pegasos platform you will find two operating systems included and further supported: MorphOS 1.3 and a port of Debian GNU/Linux 3.x. "

In my opinion the Pegasos gets a good review, wich i cannot say about MorphOs.

Check out the review here ...

if we want a market share; make it all more or less resemble windows.

Make it compatible with windows ... somehow :-)

I'm was surprised to read that Genesi send OSnews.com a pegasos just to review.

I mean ... I don't think Osnews.com is getting that much readers to justify a "gift" like that. I could be wrong about the visitor numbers they get, but looking at the commentnumbers .. it can't be that much.

If i was Genesi, i would send one to slashdot.org ... more possible buyers/developers there ...

[Kees]

This first step was a step back .. IMO

@bbrv
Nothing is wrong with the article, its a good article ... I just *don't* understand why you give away a Pegasos to a site like Osnews instead of a site like slashdot ... Giving it to slashdot would be a better "investment" and more would be more profitable ...

At least submit the Osnews article to slashdot for more (lots more) readers. Slashdot will probably post it.

@ all

Why can't you people agree with the fact that such a review would be more profitable on a site like slashdot ??

its stupid to deny it ..  :-D

@Wayne

Slashdot has an infinitely wider audience, granted, but in general, their site is filled with malcontented people who literally seem to hate everything.

Partly true .. There are alot of people who like to take a swing at things .. but at the same time .. its the negative comments that you remember ...same goes for AO ... right ?

As such, it's by far better suited as a "first step" in marketing. Genesi got her feedback as a non-Amiga community "outsider", they now know what they should consider changing to make MorphOS more desirable to the outside markets, and will more than likely accept those changes.

Action - Reaction ... the more responce you get, the better. The more demand you create .. the more you can offer.

The only problem with mass demand is that Genesi could probably not deliver at this point.

@hnl_dk

I only post/submit to Amiga.org :-)

[Kees]

Someone said sending it to osnews now was a step backwards and I agree.

Thank you :-)

[Kees]

It is clear the coverage on OSNews was far superior than what followed on Slashdot. On Slashdot the focus was more on the "mainstream" -- "another PPC that will run MacOSX." MorphOS was barely mentioned, Mac-on-Linux and EULA issues were the focus.

Hehe ... that would be different if you send the Pegasos to them ...

I'll stop now :-)

[Kees]

hehe ... please don't *explain* to me how business works ... i'm a manager myself ... its a matter of different approach.

We can discuss this for hours ... we're prolly not going to agree in the end ...

Your happy with the responce you got .. and thats the only thing thats important. :-)
