Interview with Thendic France and Petro Tyschtschenko

[Seehund]

redrumloa,

This quote bothers me. They say they are using MorphOS on Pegasus hardware, but still must make the tie to Amiga. And this is Petro!

Yeah, the Pegasos is Amiga OS compatible but nobody has licensed it or become a licensed distributor for it. It must be Evil! EEEEVIL I tells ya'll! All hail only licensed distributors and licensed hardware, no matter what their technological and economical merits might be!

Mixed feelings here! I always liked Petro, but he is in the MorphOS camp now. :-?  :-?

What do you mean,  you'll have to dislike him now? Let's all have a "Two Minutes Hate" session against the evil "MorphOS camp" and anyone associated with it! Hate! Hate! Hate! MorphOS is doubleplus-ungood! Petro Tyschtschenko is a heretic and he has deviated from The Cause and chosen another "side"!

I'm not trying to "attack" you, redrumloa, personally. I just generally wish people would realise that there shouldn't be any reason to choose "sides" or "camps". Look at the technology when it's there and pick what you prefer. I don't belong to any camp and I have never used MorphOS (or Amiga OS4 for that matter), so I won't start throwing flames and FUD at the other "camp". I just hope I'll be allowed to buy whatever suits me best.

redrumloa,

My only problem is the MOS people(not camp) is now claiming MOS no longer requires any AmigaOS components and therefore is it's own product. This is talking out of one side of their mouth.

Does it require any such components? That's not meant to be a rhetorical question, I'd honestly like to know. I can't find anything about such requirements on the MorphOS site.

Then they talk out of the other side of their mouth and you get a press release(?) like this where they do everything to state that this IS the next generation Amiga, just not official.

The only time MorphOS was mentioned in this interview was when "Thendic France" (Bill Buck?) said "We think MorphOS is a unique and a well engineered OS". That, and the bit about that rumoured doubts about legality should be settled in court and not on the Internet.

Hate! Hate! Hate! MorphOS is doubleplus-ungood

When have you heard me saying this? I have an opinion, you may not like it.

I never heard you say that and I didn't say you did. I was extending a tangent from your uncertainty about whether you should continue to like Petro, now that he's working with a company that's distributing MorphOS. For some reason my mind wandered off to Oceania in "1984" and my typing fingers merely followed my mind... Sorry.
So, have you formed a new opinion about Petro yet?
