If amiga systems can under price Mac systems and allow the mac users to run the major Mac applications on the Amiga, read and save data in Mac formats, then it could really be the way to get the Amiga into the workplace.
The more native software written for OS4 and MorphOS the better. But to allow the Amiga to ease the migration of Mac users over would be a big benefit.
Amiga needs an office suite that can compete with MS Office and packages to compete with Photoshop, Illustrator and Quark. Until they come, why not emulate?
mate, have u tried iFusion PPC? can it run photoshop well? does the machine crawl or is it useable?
If the amiga has a app that can read photoshop files and support the layers and all the cool vector txt and graphics features then they wont need to run photoshop, just read and write to the same format to enable sharing between macs and amigas.
its good that OS4 is near completion, at least there is a chance that OS4.1 may include MacOS APIs.
rather than needing to spend resources emulating the entire MacOS and then running the apps, running the Mac Apps natively on the Amiga OS would be sweet. Sweeeeeeeet
edit:
what about sheepshaver? i read on
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~cyberwlf/MacEmul.html that it will be the ShapeShifter for PPC emulation. But cant find any other sources for this app. their official sheepshaver site seems to be dead. :-(
no way that Apple will help to emulate their OS so why not team up with ShapeShifter or the owners of iFusion PPC (blittersoft now Virtual programming? did they sell the rights to the app?)
