which then needs to be corrected (MorphOS was in beta long before last year).


The development process of MorphOS cannot be well compared to the AmigaOS4 development process. With MorphOS there was a more usual development process, where first the fundamental parts were finished and then over a large period of time component after component were being developed and added.

With regard to AmigaOS4 all the components were being worked on almost simultaniously, so i.e. AmiDock's main development process may well have been largely finished before PPCBoot or ExecSG.

The need to correct inaccurate information should not be labeled as a "flamewar" unless you are attempting to insight one yourself. and I know you don't do that, do you Mike?


I saw that MorphOS was being brought up within this AmigaOS4 thread, and history learns us that this generally results into childish flamewars. So I thought I should *try* to exstinguish the little sparks before they turn into flames.  :-)

Amiga, Inc. chose Hyperion's solution, of the four choices Amiga had--they chose the one solution that didn't ship. The other 3 shipped.


The makers of AmigaOS XL and Amithlon 1.0 didn't have an agreement with Amiga Inc i.e. H&P and co. has failed to sign the agreement with Amiga Inc.

Note that this same agreement was sign by Bernie himself.

But while we are reminding everyone that Microsoft was year late with Windows 95....lets not also forget that most companies are not late all the time...

Who gives a toss wether Morphos was beta or not, arguing the point is giving the trolls the oportunity to spam this thread......

Theyre just jealous because they dont have a real amiga, let them get on with it.... they'll be back one day.
