@AmiDelf,

It reminds me of an MSN commercial!

Sometime though, OS4 will be available.  Then, upon the next day, a yet to be determined user will say, "Hmmm..."

His eyes will light up, a grin shall form upon his lips, and he will make his way to the local computer store.  Lovingly, he will go to someone's webshop, and make a purchase.

Upon the delivery truck's travelling away from the user's home...  The user will know what must be done...

The user shall connect the Pegasos and A1 unto a router.  Following this, he shall install Envoy.  The glittering in his eyes creates the bast*rd troll...  The PURPLE troll!  All shall fear him!  His evil gaze!  His twisted reality!  His proclamation that only true Amigans have both on a network!  His evil laugh will fill the forums, when he realizes that his four port router will allow him to connect Amithlon and AROS to the network too...  

We should all be trembling now, as this scenario may be coming close to reality!  The wicked evil "All of the Above" troll will be coming to a forum near you!  Eeeek!

This thread is a joke, especially started by a person who for years have attacked Amiga emulation/MorphOS developers every step of the way and now flooding/spamming this site with MorphOS praise which is acceptable.

One word "hypocrite".

Dude, If the OS to choose were based on the skin it used I might as well be using XP.

I just skinned the hell out of it. Man, I didn't know I could even do that until 15 mins ago and once I started it blew me away. Changed the boot screen, all the window graphics and icons and mousepointer. Holy crap.

I know its Xp still, but its vastly improved in terms of looks at least. It looks soooo slick. This is what the Amiga should be about slickness. I have to admit Morphos looks slick right now too.

We've got a lot of catching up to do. I always figured that the Amiga OS ought to function more like those old Amiga demos with all the glitz and animation. That's what I remembered the most about the Amiga, those excellent demos. And anyway we should be past making the desktop look so serious. No one else is taking it seriously, why should we.

People want something different. As Alan said, the Amiga should go towards the leisure market. The kind that will be running Amiga's on TVs from their couch. They might not even want to see the OS unless it looks fun and slick.

I'm intending to write my app for TV resolution, and will slick it up graphically and with animation. I suggest we all do the same.

Some aspects of it are ok, even nice.  I've had a chance to play with a Peg I a little, if there was no other alternative it might be acceptable (as long as BBRV were not associated with it).  However I very much like the look and feel of Aos 3.x.  Aos 4 will allways be closer to that than MORPHOS,  besides I am an AmigaOne owner - and very pleased with it, even if it is presently runing Debian!  I see absolutely no reason to switch....

No, I wouldn't call AmiDelf a hypocrite at all.  If a person is "vocal," they are vocal.  If a person who is vocal changes their opinion on something, should their character also change?

While I can understand why you would think that of him, I just cannot see anyone becoming a different person based on a change in opinion.  Actually, I have a bit of respect for him posting an editorial on his own site explaining his change of heart.  Some people never do explain why they changed their mind on a given topic.

You know,..

My words weren't against MorphOS at all. It was all against DCE. Thats two different things and I didn't actually believe in MorphOS and Pegasos before I got ennough evidence that even people wich have been waiting for over 2 years for getting their PPC boards repaired, got them repaired atleast because of Genesi.

As I explained to one another earlier today. AmigaWorld.org is a consumer website.

I am fair ennough to say that I am not so glad for what Genesi is doing with going public with everything,... but what I think Genesi thinks,..

is..

1. There is no movement
2. People have been abused to long
3. We have the right to know whats going on

All of this points is what Hyperion and Amiga INC have been holding back. It's just hearting me as it is you and others.

I allways wanted something like Genesi to break the silence wall. They've done that in a bit unprofessional way, but its getting ressults. It's infact building a community becayse of that.

If we had something just between Amiga INC and Genesi. That would be very, very nice. A company that cares about its users, tells them whats going on. If its needs to go public, they do so. But bringing a community tougether is a tough job and AmigaOS4 is loosing people day by day, as long as it is as quiet as it is now.
