MorphOS Milestone: 2000+ licenses sold

[EDanaII]

Go MorphOS! The Amiga solution hobbyists can actually afford!

(And this is not a slam against AROS, as I have machines for both.) But profit is incentive for work to progress and AROS, as an open source solution, has less reason to move forward.

Keep up the good work, guys.

Well, to be honest, AROS' greatest strength is it's wealth of available platforms. It's greatest weakness, OTOH, is that it is open source. MHO, of course. To me, the difference is that open source gets done it gets done, whereas for profit gets done _when it's needed,_ although not always as well as open source. Now, not to dis MorphOS, but if AROS were for profit, we'd probably have as good a solution -- including 68k compatibility-- as MorphOS and many more licenses...

Honestly, Olaf? I don't think we're disagreeing at all. All you've done is spell out what I'm effectively saying: both have their strengths and both have their weaknesses.

That said, I don't want to detract from this thread too much either. The fact is, MorphOS is a excellent Amiga solution and their smartest move was to make it available for old Mac hardware, which is exactly why I'm counted among the 2k licenses they've sold so far. Good job, guys.
