[Kees]

@ Targhan

Yes .. but that doesn't mean that a thread should end in a flamefest ... wich it hasn't this far ... but you know how things go.

Each to his own, but if I came forward and started posting that OS4 was unstable and couldn't even play a CD, you'd get annoyed too, right?

You do regularly.

[Targhan]

@Kees

Oh yeah :-P  Sometimes it takes a bit of work to "keep it civil."

[Tomas]

He'd rather play with OS4 than MorphOS, even though MOS will almost certainly have a more original feel to AmigaOS

Um? how is it possible that MorphOS will feel more like AmigaOS than AmigaOS? :O

And btw, what does  MorphOS have that os4 wont have? :-?

[Tomas]

Amazing interview by the way! Makes a bit sad to read though, how certain people slowly killed off the whole company.

But thanks for this interview  :-)

@Tomas,

As much as I would like to jump into this and start listing the current advantages of MorphOS over AmigaOS 4, Kees is absolutely correct.  This is not the time, or thread for it.  This thread is about Dave's interview, not the average "which stick is bigger" conversation which pretty much consumes this community.

If you'd like to talk to me about the advantages of MorphOS and the Pegasos, just leave me an e-mail message and I'll be glad to discuss it off forum.

i respect davie for the interview , very well .

and i agree totally to what he have said , we wont be able to go mainstream as it is today , look at the comments in here..., people stating they can run DIVx*ogg etc on their pegasos, wow i am amazed! , not really but sure its a + .

remeber software determines if a plattform is alive or not, especially at times like this if u need new people on board! .

anyway send davie an pegasos , i am pretty sure he wil try it , then post a new interview just to get your answer if it rule or not.

and for os4 and a1 , can't do that as dave aint a beta tester so there ya have an big + .

lets wait and see and i am pretty sure this will happen, if not i will be dissapointed .

cheers

Spam, yes - but not from me.

MorphOS on Pegasos is more stable than AmigaOS3.9 on an Amiga, period. I have both. And I can play audio CDs too, as well as play ogg, mp3, divx, use warp3d and warpup apps. All stabler and *much* faster than using an Amiga. OS4 is simply not finished and is years behind this. If it runs stable on A1 by Spring, I'll be surprised.

what are you saying here, this is not good for the peg community, there is users who crash alot still, and i havent actually seen it running like you say here, but then again maybe your amiga with os3.9 never was actually stable, seen alot of them.

but sure there is no ways of telling , since you probably use your system for other things than the other users , and yet again people still claim windows is rocksolid, its a discussion for the very long run and it will never stop .

meet up at a show in the future with your wonderfull machine and we can do a race , pegasos vs pegasos if you like that and we can time it.

beyond that do we really need to hear about how buggy your a1200 is? , you have told us this so many times ,  anyway i hope that after xmas 2003 that everyone's pegasos will be as stable as yours.

for os4 , well time will tell about that ...now wont it?.

cheers

pps: not any insults here , but i feel you tried to say something which aint right, not acording to other users anyway (nor me)

Ok, maybe AROS, now that the seem to actually, finally, have decided that it’s ok to really pursue AROS; I kind of got excited by the early prospects of it, then disillusions and, finally, disinterested by the lack of committment and fear-of-reprisals that seemed to be attached.

I completely accept that Dave can have a bad opinion of AROS, but I certainly cannot accept he bases that opinion of faulty assumptions: there's no lack of committment (unless he thinks that to be really committed one should work full time on it), and there's no fear-of-reprisals at all, although I can understand that is what may have appeared by reading some of Aaron's statements some years ago - but that was it all, and they were due to some actions by Amiga Inc. All in all, we're doing pretty well, managing to slowly make AROS grow while running our full-of-other-things private lives.

>>MorphOS on Pegasos is more stable than AmigaOS3.9 on an Amiga, period.

Depending on the sets of application pool. Did you factored in compatibility issues as a factor for stability (cited as an example)? I recall there was a list (both unofficial and official) of compatible applications for MorphOS.
