Is it time for AROS to be the official OS for Natami ?
As you know Amiga OS3 users are not supported by the OS4 team.
More and more software for OS4.1 is breaking compatibility with AmigaOS3 and more software is becoming OS4 only.
This is the current situation, and OS4 team have chosen to break with the past and create new software OS4 only.
The Natami will have unique hardware and needs to keep optimised, so it will be hard to stay compatible even with Amiga OS3 as the default OS.
OS3/Natami incompatible with OS4.x
The only way forward would be to support AROS, which is very much AmigaOS like.
AROS can be improved upon, and developed further, while trying to keep API compatibility with AmigaOS.
Why is this happening ?
Simply the inability for hardware to be released in large batches and lowering prices for all users to buy.
Also the incompatibility to the Amiga chipset breaks most AmigaOS software.
NON OS4 users dont exist it seems.
If OS4 developers are breaking compatibility then why should AROS keep compatibility ?
Natami is chipset orientated - keep the same chipset for all Amigas.
OS4 /SAM is graphics card orientated - get AmigaOS4 to run on specific gfx cards they can develope for.
people dont be upset with each platform, its just the view they believe is the direction forward and are commited to.
