Amiganoid 2011: MorphOS Team also sponsor + news

[SamuraiCrow]

Nice! So you can buy new hardware? It got memory protection? Does it have flash? Must I go on? Sorry to destroy this but it is just as left behind as AOS 4 and needs to catch up. If there are no plan beyond old macs it has got to go x86.

And NO I don't hate MOS nor their users.

Don't you read the news?  Win8 doesn't even support Flash anymore.  And Micorosoft is switching to ARM from Intel x86 due to power consumption issues.  The only issue left is memory protection which is so expensive in terms of memory consumption for the page tables, it's really not worth it.

right, here are the news:

All of us had a lot of fun, was very nice to talk to all the people. I myself found out, that -if you want to have an Amiganoid Notebook - MorphOS will be the way to go. From my impression it seems they are working hard in order to support all hardware incl. Powermanagement on those Notebooks. Great.

Seems, as far as I can judge, AROS is a sort of "comeback" OS for former A500/A1200 users. good fun !

You have proven many times in the past that your last statement is false.

Sounds like it was a great event.  If only there was a similar event in the UK this year.

@gerograph,

Can you confirm what eliot is saying on MorphZone.org that some of the MorphOS Dev. Team members stated that the next release of MorphOS will be 3.0 and not 2.8?

In the past, several of the MorphOS Dev. Team members have confirmed that version 3.0 was only the working version number used for the latest work the Team was doing, and did not mean that the next version would be released as version 3.0.  For example, when Piru first showed a demo video of MorphOS2.x running on a G4 PowerBook over a year ago, it had the version number of 3.0 and when Bigfoot showed MorphOS2.x booting on a G5 PowerMac, also over a year ago, it also had a version number of 3.0 (IIRC).

Well, it was not confirmed on Amiganoid, that next MorphOS release will be 3.0 (at least not to me). However on AW.net it was: http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=34264&forum=28
