Interview with Thendic France and Petro Tyschtschenko

[redrumloa]

Interesting, I'll need to read the whole article. If they are going with MorphOS there may be a problem.

Speculation of course. I am no lawyer.

[redrumloa]

Well it was an interesting read!

amiga-news.de: Petro, what is your motivation to still busy yourself with the Amiga?

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!

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

[redrumloa]

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".

I never said I was going to choose a 'camp' I only choose the term 'camp' for lack of a better term.

 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.

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.

Hate! Hate! Hate! MorphOS is doubleplus-ungood

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

[redrumloa]

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.

At least originally, it absolutely required a full OS3.1 install. Supposedly they are(already have?) moving away from this. Needing OS3.1 components is pretty well documented. i don't have links handy, but a simple usnet search would turn up tons of discussion including RS himself.

So, have you formed a new opinion about Petro yet?

Nope, no new opinion yet. I'm just curious how this all turns out. Things are getting bizzare to the point I'd almost think I was in the twilight zone!! :-o
