Status report on AmigaOS 4.2 development

[yssing]

can buying it second hand qualify as "support"? will that have an influence on their price/performance, what do you think?

Ofcourse it can, if the sellers intends to buy a newer system.

@commodorejohn I know you have never used AOS4.x, which makes your complaining meaningless.

My complaining about OS4 machines being too expensive for a lot of us is meaningless because I've never used OS4 (because it only runs on machines which are too expensive for a lot of us?)

Right.

Can AmigaOS 4.x hardware beat this price?

@John, you complaining about the price is just one thing though. You did tell me there where things that AOS4.1 can't do that windows can do, which was another complaint of yours. Again, what are those things?

No that is where the "number of sales" thing come in, you know market and demand stuff. But I bet that the more people who actually buy AOS4.x compliant hardware, the cheaper it will get in the long run.

By people buying their products offcourse. So they can make faster and better/cheaper hardware in the future.

I dont think your buying volume is big enough to make difference.

[antikk]

Atleast i'm doing what i can to make a difference, in a positive way.

Than it means buying a copy of MorphOS makes also no big difference?

aCube manufactures PPC bords for industrial purpose, if they could manufacture bords just for just for Amiga user, I would say that price would lower. Lots of useless thing could be removed and make boards more cheaper.

So I would say that it is possible to make a diffrence.

[Frags]

Is that actually happening though or was it just the original plan?  I guess only Acube knows but given the (understandably) high price, I`m not sure they have industrial customers yet.

In a shocking totally unexpected turn of events, an Amiga Os annoucement turns into argument about the best NG Os and hardware prices

[Frags]

The reason this happens (which I think is fairly obvious to be honest) is that people click on a thread, read the last page and respond to the last few posts, not the original post.  It`s like Chinese whispers.

edit:  Real conversations do this as well don`t they?

AOS4 compatibility?   That's 1/4 of the price right there.

That's because everyone knows Windows for Workgroups 3.11 is the best.  >.<

Are you serious?
