Dominant future AmigaOS? MOS vs OS4 vs AROS

[mahen]

Ruben : oh BTW Ruben, are you still working on a Protracker clone ? Thanks for bringing immortal too


As for the subject, well, I think we should compare OS4 and MOS when both are available to find out which one is the way to go. The only amiga name is not particularly an advantage in 2003 I think ? And MOS is the only usable one ATM. Anyway, ppl who don't have a pegasos have to wait and ppl who have an A1 have to wait

DaveP:

I think we can't really say that OS4 is better in usability than OS3.9. It's too early to say:

because it'll depend on the stability of OS4 (many crucial new parts on new hardware); on the compatibility (emulation)...

This is really a very different product.

Right now MOS lacks a few details, but has new feature and is very compatible and stable.

But of course time will tell and we must all remain open and cheerful

DaveP: yep To answer the subject, I'm sure OS4 would be dominant if it was released now, even if it was less good than MOS. So as always, I'll say that if the MOS & AOS team had cooperated we would have something great right now and no wars
