Thinking to change to the dark side (blue)

Hi!
If you can afford it and you can find one available for delivery, why the heck not? Put all the squabbling and internal politics of the Amiga community aside and the Pegasos + MorphOS is one impressive system for an old Amiga user. IMO don't look at it as making some incredible plunge or breaking an unwritten oath(:-P), they are all just products that are either available, not available, or semi available.

Let me just make one suggestion though. [color=CC0000]DON'T PREORDER[/color] a Pegasos. If you can find a dealer with one in stock, then that's a green light go ahead. But from my own comfort level I wouldn't recomend paying up front right now if they are not in stock.

(I hope I'm not trying to pretend I'm unbiased. )

Ha! You sure don't look unbiased :lol:

Look at what Buck is doing. Don't you think he is a threat to AOS?

No more than the very credible damage McEwen did to Genesi' sales. "We will shut you down", "morphOS is based on illegal source code" is what created the major rift we have today and is also the reason for Buck's over-the-top legal reaction. It certainly caused a major loss of sales for Pegasos boards.

AOS is developed separately from the HW company, aimed to run on multiple HW platforms.

This is the exact same thing as the Pegasos. AOS runs on exactly the same number of hardware platforms as MOS, 2. Whether either OS will make the leap to a third hardware platform is highly debatable and probably unlikely.

Just playing devils advocate:-)

Oh wow where to start.

The official strategy is to run AOS on multiple third party HW platforms. (a1 is the first one, then BPPC&CSPPC, Elbox and even Matay (and some even more minor candidate) seem to be waiting for the OS release as well as the KMOS financier)

Only A1 and classic-PPC systems are under development. Elbox doesn't have any capable hardware and even if they did Hyperion has confirmed nothing is under development. Matay is no longer in the picture. Also you seem to have missed how many legitimate dealers who approached Amiga Inc about licensing and were either turned down or were never responded to. Hell I would probably license OS4 for Pegasos if I didn't already know i was wasting my time. Maybe KMOS will show a different face than Amiga Inc, we'll see. That whole deal is just so bizzare I have to see how it plays out.

So basically NO, cutting out Amiga Inc's fluff talk AOS is targetted at 2 platforms only. A1 & classic PPC. Same as MOS, though it is speculative for sure whether MOS will ever be released for the classic.

MOS is developed by bplan.

No it's not, it's developed by MorphOS.

As far as I see. It's not the same thing.

IMHO it is. Until, either of them breaks out and supports a 3rd platform anything else said on either side is fluff. That includes Buck saying he wants MOS running on Mac, just fluff.

Oh and the only pills I take are multi-vitamins:-D
