its pretty dead no matter which side you're on.  AOS4 has no new hardware.   MOS has hardware just not "officially supported".  Both sides take a "when its done" approach to the release of their respective OS.  IMO AOS4 would be ahead of the game had they had licenced hardware.   But hey, I'm just having fun w/emulation and using the real deal.  :)

Well, at least we own our OS, and don't need to worry about licensing issues.



yet the collective "you" "we" wont support other hardware "officially".  Myself, a person looking from the outside in, all I see is a bunch of coders that think they are 1337.  

In the beginning you'all had high hopes of MOS.  The Genesi deal didnt work out.  You guys didnt release any new version of MOS until some counter or whatever reached 0.  (you said yourself its not about the money)  Never happend nor is it going to.  BBRV, in his own way tries to make amends (at least thats what it looked like to me) to sell MOS on Freescale's site.  Everything is there for "you" "we" to make money yet you'all dont need the money..

"Hey you'd better not promote our product without our permission!"  "We dont care to be known"  (heavy on the sarcasm..)

So keep working on MOS for your own little clique of programmers..release whatever "internal betas" with whatever features because even support for your OS is dying.  

If the rumors are true that the Pegasos board (the original) will not be made anymore, then thats great news.  Smartest thing BBRV has ever done.  Why?  Because it will force MOS to conform to new hardware.  Support new hardware or end up getting de-supported yourself.

Sorry about the rant Amiga fans.  I'm just tired of collective NOBODYS jerking users around.

When it comes down to it, MorphOS is the future of AmigaOS.


even that remains to be seen.  They've never heard of project management before or deadlines etc.  If they were to keep track of progress/work being done like AROS Devel does then I'd be more then I'd take your comment into consideration.

We however are waiting for the heir of Pegasos II, the Pegasos III based on dual core PPC G4 model 8641D, clocked at 1,7 GHz.



I dont think thats the answer though.  It will be expensive.  Right now for whats left of the Amiga market, we need something cheap and good and a OS development team that keeps the public up-to-date on what is going on with the OS. Bugs, fixes, updates etc.
