Genesi : 'How we see things'

[Warface]

After this announcement and previous ones I still don't quite understand the need for Genesi to continue to invest in MorphOS. First, you have all those other *nix-based OSs at your disposal. Second, you have QNX and maybe you could get VxWorks on Pegasos for the embedded market. I think that would be a lot cheaper and faster than producing your own unknown OS from scratch. Shipping MorphOS with every board is good but I think corporate customers need a much better reason to switch to MorphOS other than it's cool and free--so is Linux for that matter. So I'm curious, where is the big differentiator? Why would a company want MorphOS over the alternatives?

Try it out. Linux tends to have a slightly sluggish, more robust feeling (modern OSes alike) - where MorphOS has somewhat of an "instant" feeling. It gives a way faster OS impression. MorphOS has some points lacking compared to the leading OSes out there, but (even taking into account the last year) it evolves in huge steps from it's original base. I expect it to become something comparable to OSX, XP or Linux in a year or two. (Given that the current development rate remains)

Pure IMHO thought. The vision's cope is slightly broad for my taste, so I judge from what I already have instead. :-) I grow suspicious to announcements like these, wherever they come from :-) We will see how they turn out.

Nice to see though, that Amiga Inc keeps up to date on Genesi announcements and visions :-)

May we see a new, updated business proposal of cooperation  towards them someday, or the situation is way too poisonous for any cooperation?

At least you are impartially negative towards everyone. I start to appreciate that :-)
