Genesi : 'How we see things'

[lempkee]

deja vu ?

[amigacooke]

The platform needs to become invisible to the experience.  When you are write a letter, have a conversation, watch a movie or play a game -- the computer is helping you to do something. What you are doing should be the focus, not the computer.  The computer is a means to an end.  The objective: make the user¹s life better.  Make doing anything that can be done with a computer easier to do from anywhere, anytime.

or

Increasingly it will be the digital content and the digital activity itself that becomes the only concern. This is a traditional sign that a technology is maturing, as the underlying technology becomes invisible to the user.  Digital Living will finally deliver on its promise of Whatever, Whenever, Wherever.

Sounds familiar rather than innovative.

Do I get a prize for mentioning AROS?

Oh, yeah. AROS Rocks!!!! :-D (Just wait and see it on the Pegasos)

I have a couple of programs I wouldn't mind submiting.  However, ofcourse there are the programs that I will not give away, and I have a rather large app. Im working on on the Amiga.  That one I will be selling.

omigod bloodline - your agenda is showing! ; }

Hmmm. Evidently someone didn't write what I read ; } Sheeesh, maybe I didn't read what someone didn't write. Or something.

Do you get fries with that?

...Anyway, commerce is encouraged : }

After this announcement and previous ones I still don't quite understand the need for Genesi to continue to invest in MorphOS. First, you have all those other *nix-based OSs at your disposal. Second, you have QNX and maybe you could get VxWorks on Pegasos for the embedded market. I think that would be a lot cheaper and faster than producing your own unknown OS from scratch. Shipping MorphOS with every board is good but I think corporate customers need a much better reason to switch to MorphOS other than it's cool and free--so is Linux for that matter. So I'm curious, where is the big differentiator? Why would a company want MorphOS over the alternatives?

Try it out. Linux tends to have a slightly sluggish, more robust feeling (modern OSes alike) - where MorphOS has somewhat of an "instant" feeling. It gives a way faster OS impression. MorphOS has some points lacking compared to the leading OSes out there, but (even taking into account the last year) it evolves in huge steps from it's original base. I expect it to become something comparable to OSX, XP or Linux in a year or two. (Given that the current development rate remains)

Pure IMHO thought. The vision's cope is slightly broad for my taste, so I judge from what I already have instead. :-) I grow suspicious to announcements like these, wherever they come from :-) We will see how they turn out.

I didn't intend on replying to greenboys follow-up response as I knew what that would be.  The same old bog standard for type.  :-P

[Warface]

@HMetal

Nice to see though, that Amiga Inc keeps up to date on Genesi announcements and visions :-)

May we see a new, updated business proposal of cooperation  towards them someday, or the situation is way too poisonous for any cooperation?

[MarkTime]

oh so  life is not just about the allmightly euro...maybe there are things like values...

hmmm, maybe

I hope 'EULA free' doesn't mean, 'pirate platform.'

ZING......not fair?

Oh I don't mean you are planning on a pirate platform, what I mean is I don't see the moral fortitude to stand against it...and without even that much courage, you don't have enough courage to succeed.

Genesi can take an official stand against running Mac OS X on Pegasos II, because currently that is illegal and a violation of Apple's IP and licensing terms.

Then, all the values arguments fall into place.
(I won't predict what Genesi will do, because
unlike Amiga, Inc. they aren't so predictable)

Nevertheless, until then, sounds like marketing hoo ha ha from a valueless money grubber.  (I just had to go negative, wink ;-))

@Marktime

At least you are impartially negative towards everyone. I start to appreciate that :-)

Bend to hostile comments and just get more

Bad choice of wording, sorry if I offended anyone:-(

No you never stop mentioning it although that is a good thing . :-)

@MarkTime

Breaking an EULA does not make a product illegal.  Breaking any contract does not render something illegal.  It is not illegal to run Mac OS X on any machine, even non-Apple ones.  It is, however, against the EULA, but even then there are limits to the EULA that can allow users to run Apple's OS on any platform, if you've ever read the actual EULA.
