Ok, not trying to bash with a sledgehammer here but if OS4 was released at the same time as MorphOS i think the majority of current Morph users would have picked OS4....

If QNX were also available at the same time, I would choose it :-D

Peg II against AmigaOne
Hmm I guess peg II is ok, it has software by virtue of freeloading from the origonal base Amiga software, and some "native" applications.

Genesi is more professional if you count stooping to any method to discredit you opposition as "professional"
Morphos is still in beta state, has been for some time and will likely be for quite some time more.

Amiga on the other hand is being orchestrated by Amiga Inc whos business dealings are as yet dubious,. but are supported by two other comapanies with very good reputations that seem to have contacts and support of some rather impressive people. The OS is unavailable as yet except to beta testers, and soon the early bird purchasers.

Bottom line here is, if you really want to purchase an Amiga, go for the Aone, if you dont give a stuff but just want to run your old software and want to go PPC then the pegasos will probably fit your bill better....for now.

There really is not a great difference in the hardware, or the software at this point, so there is no real requirement for comparison as niether system is ready as a commercial product/OS combination as yet.

Wow.. that's a fair comment. and here I thought you were just a troll!  Maybe I was wrong.  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D

I really dont give a rats ass if they take advantage of old software or not, look at linux and windows. I think thats great. What I dont like is the image they promote as "supporting the Amiga community" when in fact what they are doing is hijacking that said community to support themselves in direct competition to the real amiga solution.

You are right, AmigaInc did just exactly this with their AmigaDe project, where they partnered with Microsoft.

Oh wait.. were you refering to Genesi here?

Even Linux has more integrity than that.
I am purely sick of the lies and other rubbish spouted by Genesi that is completely ans utterly forgiven by the blue crowd, not to mention completely ignored forgotten and swept under the carpet! It just promotes more of the same behavior.
Same goes for the coupon debacle with the red crowd and the general level of behaviour all round.

I'm not sure what lies/rubbish from Genesi that you are refering to?

There is a sevre lack of integrity with the comp
anies and organizeation related to this community( with a couple exceptions), and the only way this is gunna change is if we the community pull them up and take them to task over it.  

YES! :-D

Yes I was referring to Genesi, the Amiga DE deal with MS was new product being sold under DE for MS...not really the same thing. Its kinda hard to hijack your own software base anyway

I thought it was the way AmigaInc alienated their other partners by choosing M$ over them. One of AmigaInc's partners ended up taking M$ to court. Of course choosing M$ alienated many Amiga users.

(M$ is responsible for swallowing up one of my favourite Amiga companies.)

Well the glaring one is Gary Hare for CEO, but the list is pretty exhaustive dating back some two years ago.

Garry Hare is a real person:

Another one is: "we support the community and want OS4 on pegasos" When in actual fact they will do nothing to get OS4 on pegasos and expect AmigaInc\Hyperion to port it for them whilst also thumbing thier nose at the requirements for OS4 on thier machine.

What you probably mean is "who is going to pay for OS4 to be ported to the Pegasos?", right?

A Hyperion rep mentioned the development costs of OS4 being close to $5 million. So any port of OS4 to Pegasos would require a serious chunk of change.

There are 15+ operating systems being ported to the pegasos, most of these are being ported by the developers themselves and  not funded by Genesi. Genesi is only supplying free boards and support for these boards.

Hyperion need to recover the development costs and the fastest way for them to do this is by finishing OS4 for the AmigaOne first then pursuing other markets for OS4.

Of course a certain 'far eastern' company would have a larger interest in investing in the OS4 project because they get to sell lots of AmigaOne PPC boards and funding OS4 is small amount of money compared to what is spent supporting Windows platforms.
