Dominant future AmigaOS? MOS vs OS4 vs AROS
« on: May 31, 2003, 08:07:47 PM »
Been thinking it through what will win?  To become the true successor of OS3.1.

AmigaOS4 has the name, development team, original core, and committed followers.

MorphOS popular through actually producing the goods, excellent community work, and marketing.

AROS the outsider, slowly mulling along till recently.  Now with only a few features missing to bring it mainstream (development tools, 68k emulation, & internet enability).  Plus being open source, and hardware availability/pricing are major bonuses as well.

Please share your views.

Does seem like AROS is the case of nearly there!  If Aros was as complete as MorphOS what would happen?

Melott:  You hit the nail on the head!

I would love to buy a PPC motherboard (pegasos or A1), but frankly there aimed at the old propiertory die hards.  I hope Amiga Inc go bust,  I really do.  Then Hyperion can have a chance at reaching A market.  Then market the OS as it should be marketed for the complete PPC crowd.  Not at the moment in a niche inside a niche inside a niche.

Open source is the best option, because it means the community controls the OS.  No moaning,  because if you do it will be like your lazy, because you could make a difference.

As soon as AROS gets 68k emulation its gonna be like a steamroller!

MorphOS does seem to be going places, espicially with 1.4.  As stated before, to run it on a Mac would be awesome.  Why don't they release it for the AmigaONE and finish Amiga Inc off for good.  I would pay <£50 for a copy.

AOS4 isn't even out the door yet.  How are they going support it, if they can't even pay the programmers to write it?
