Interview with Thendic France and Petro Tyschtschenko

[Chathurawind]

So sad to see this, when everything seemed to work out really fine... this will split the communicity and i doubt its enough to support both platforms, both Amiga and Pegasos will die.  :cry:

Then we are all stuck with windoze  :evil:

[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.

[seer]

More like Bill and Rachel were the death of Visicorp.

Not wanting to sound like I want to flame you, but care to give some more details ?

Hi redrumloa

where they do everything to state that this IS the next generation Amiga, just not official.

It's just like OS/2(-Warp) was the next generation of Windows_3.1.
Win95 was the official successor, but was it realy better ?

When i started on the Amiga i was fascinated by the games.
It was the OS and it's nice API that got me hooked.
I newer was into this "bash ATARI/M$" or "Jay Miner/Dave Haynie
is god" thing that i hear from so many people.

When Gateway has their QNX- and Linux-plans i was interested but
still suspicious if it would be "Amiga" for me.

When AInc told us that "Amiga" now meant DE i said "sort of" as
it has nothing to do with my view of what is an "Amiga".

Amithlon/MorphOS/AROS are "Amiga" to ME as they share
the same principles and ideas as the original OS.
Couldn't care less about the name.

[Kronos]

Forget about this one.

redrumloa,

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.

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.

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.

The only time MorphOS was mentioned in this interview was when "Thendic France" (Bill Buck?) said "We think MorphOS is a unique and a well engineered OS". That, and the bit about that rumoured doubts about legality should be settled in court and not on the Internet.

Hate! Hate! Hate! MorphOS is doubleplus-ungood

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

I never heard you say that and I didn't say you did. I was extending a tangent from your uncertainty about whether you should continue to like Petro, now that he's working with a company that's distributing MorphOS. For some reason my mind wandered off to Oceania in "1984" and my typing fingers merely followed my mind... Sorry.
So, have you formed a new opinion about Petro yet?

[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
