Save AmigaOS! I can't be bothered.

[dammy]

But my point still remains, if we all started supporting AROS, their are no funds going towards the Amiga platform in general, forget Amiga Inc for now, How the hell is AROS going to continue in future with no funds coming in, when the Old AROS team desides to stop, and let others do it, how can we be assured that others will do it??

Because anyone can download the source code and go from there.  Unlike what we see now as a badly flawed business model/plan from Amiga Inc, AROS doesn't need unrealistic numbers of paying end users to survive.  If anything, your going to find some very level headed and realistic developers in AROS Developer's Community.  AROS is not going to over take M$ nor Linux.  It's building a community of folks who enjoy  a simple OS that doesn't have a ton of headaches.  

If AROS can become friendly with a OEM, that's great. If not, it's not going to be a loss either.  There is no hoping, no wishing, no begging of a "highier authority" of a commercial entity to push AROS forward, it's community create and community driven.  I realize that may a bit frightening some folks not to have a corp to play the role of your parent, but it's time to cut the umbilical cord.

@Dammy:

I respect the likes of Thomas and Jorkany, but here you are, Ok you may have some old school amigas, and maybe even emulator, or AROS itself, maybe MorphOS, But your real liking is the new MAC OX,

What are you doing? Smoking meth before posting or just pulling this crap out of your arse?  Even if your just pulling this crap out of your arse, you doing a mightly poor job of it.  MAC OX?  What is that?  You can't possible mean Mac OS-X?  Why on Earth are you going on about other OSs that I have no interest in?  

SO Please, keep off this merchandise!

Your delusional if you think any of the AROS, or UAE, or clasic AOS or MOS folks are going to pull up anchor and go sail away.  We are here, learn to love us.

Cheers!

If what i say is untrue, than by all means tell me what is the truth with you and your situation, without getting mad, nor abusing, nor flaming me, as I will not tolerate it any more from no one on here!

After your last post to me, your getting what you deserve. I can't help it if you do not like the dish of reality I'm serving you. It's the truth and no matter how much it crushes your little world, it's still the truth.  Guess what really scares you, it is a Community driven OS and that means it has popular support which you think should be going to the Great Amiga Inc instead?  That's it, isn't it?

I believe that would be a couple of class actions from AInc's defrauded victims. Though they generally seem to be asking for more.

Forget it, there isn't anywhere near enough money for lawyers to be interested in a class action lawsuit on behalf of defrauded Amiga Inc customers.  Had Amiga Inc customers complained to the US Government's agencies in a reasonable time period, then they could get some type of relief.  

I'm still a bit fuzzy on all this fuss about OS4 when Amiga Inc has announced it's moving along to OS5 which will support x86.

Yes OS5 so the story goes. But why believe one story to be true when most of the shyte that comes from AINC is just that.

Oh, I agree with you, but my message is not to those unbelievers like us, it's to the AI believers.  They think AI is their only savior in this void, yet they continue to yap about OS4 when they should be pushing for OS5, if they are going to be consistant.  The only reason for AI to publically talk about OS5 is because they know the grave condition of OS4 and want to put it behind them.  Why am I not seeing this on the web boards? :devildance:

The problem with AROS is that it's trying to clone what OS3.1 did and improve it. That's OK if you want to port old Amiga software to new hardware, but there's not an overwhelming amount of open-source Amiga software to go around, and few people know (or like) to work with and around the Amiga's old limitations.

Give it till end of this summer and then compare it again.  Dr. Schulz's current projects should have some very interesting impact on AROS' future capabilities.
