OS4 Beta copy

[lempkee]

errrm and ofcourse it wont work on a1 first (as all posts earlier refer to) , it will first be for CPPC/bppc, then eventually for A1 ...

anyway mass distrubution of betas is not good, look at mos for an example...

the betatesters are allready testing the modules and has been doing that for quite a while.

anyway as i said , mass distrobution of betas IS NOT a good idea, keeping something INHOUSE is.

also, betas like mos have doesnt represent anything actually...except for bad stuff (ie it crashed, bla bla bla) , better to let em make it in peace and when the released date is near , thats when you enroll the final testers.

also just to add one thing, os3.5 was mass ditrubuted in an beta form, what happened? ...yes i shall tell you...it got pirated and pirated and people belived it was a final product and ended up giving a #### about it as it was crashy and unstable (which is why its called BETA).

3.9 doesnt have such issues, but its sadly beeing pirated anyway, doesnt make sense...

for an unknown product , well what mos is dooing might do it good, but in my eyes i have only read 1 honest review with good points in it , the rest has just been "OH MY GoD IT Suxx" or "WOW Its so impReSSIVE" , ie the general public have no idea what its all about (except for spidey's review).

time will tell if mos is something to bet on, until then i will treat it as what it is, for me aos is all , i have a neighour who use pegasos all day and everyday, i really cant understand the fuzz, but sure eventually i will when there is something in it thats finnished.
what i have seen that is good is stuff like the actual SPEED, but that doesnt tell me much as because os4 aint released and i cant compare os3.9 with MOS (68k ->ppc)

sure mos have some nice things , but that is something all os's have.

its the marketing scheme i dont like and that is why so many pople are thinkng twice , except for that i can share with you that i wont put any money into bplan/genesi/p5/dce ever again unless i have heard any good response from people who aint blind followers or what ever.

the only way mos can enter the market is the way its doing now, slammin down the aos with fud and lies and beeing hostyle to what ever they see if its not saying mos on it, its nothing i like really...i have always been open about it (until some point back) that mos and aos4 should stop this fight, but as we all know...thats impossible.

i dont question the actual pegasos HW , i am questioning the marketing scheme, the developer schemes and the way the markting people are stepping into the masses, if this had been a bigger market then they would have probably been sued long ago and hanged (that applies for BB mostly , but ainc have done its share of bad stuff aswell...no doubt about that)

a last note must be that everyday is there someone who leave, why? , well most amiga people are now grown ups and need to know whats going on, ie developers cant rely on the dates anymore (for both MOS and aos4) and if you are so stupid to start a devteam then you will get spam and fud and lame discussions all over you.

REALLY SAD!

good luck on your mos venture, i might join you in a year or 2 if it has evolved and or if os4 still aint out or its dead (or both) . until then i will keep doing my work.
