Interest in buying a Mac version of Amiga OS4.x

[Heiroglyph]

I voted no.

MorphOS is already available for that platform, plus it seems to be improving faster and they seem to be more responsive to the community.  It's hard to tell OS4 exists at all between yearly press releases.

Go to x86 or ARM faster/better than Aros or do a real 68K update and I'll spend some money with them again.

How long between Amiga OS classic versions?
1 to 2?
2 to 3?

1.0 1985
minor updates
1.3 1987 (pretty major update)
2.0 1990
minor updates
3.0 1992
minor updates
3.5 & 3.9 2000

Then 11 years and counting of nothing 68k.

Why do we need to have constant updates for an architecture that tries to revive the golden Commodore years? Just to watch the latest blockbuster trailer on html5's youtube?

If they can bring HTML5 and youtube to 68k Amigas, then yeah, I'll pay for that.

3.9 still needs a lot of patches before real use and it desperately needs a new kickstart.

There is plenty of room for improvements that I'm willing to pay for.

The whole point of the thread was to tell Hyperion what we'd want, so there's my input, nothing more.

IMHO, the real sellable value Hyperion has is in the 68k area, but they don't seem to take advantage of it.

They could improve some things every year or two and we'd all go buy a copy.

They could partner with Minimig dealers, FPGA Replay and Natami to supply the OS to shipping, upgraded machines that are about to exist.  But they don't.

I'm not sure what pipe dream they have for PPC, but if it hasn't clicked in the last 15 years, I just don't see it happening.

MorphOS seems to have that market already nailed down.  Competing for the used Mac Amiga crossover market doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
