Why does everyone think that AmigaOS on x86/Arm hardware automically means success? Loads of other companies have tried, BeOS, QNX, O/S2 etc all with much bigger development teams and resource than what the Amiga market could ever muster now a days, Linux only survives because its free and open source and even that struggles to keep up with all the modern tech, drives etc that are required to support in 86x world, plus its not really taken off at all in the Arm world of tech thats now Android / Google home me think.
Also we have this angled covered with Aros and UAE, Aros is slowing gaining more momentum but is it attracting new users and new developers? will it take over the world even if it becomes the perfect AmigaOS on 86x? I highly doubt it, unfortunately the best it can do is maybe get as popular as one of Linux distribution packages, would that be consider successful? And with the OS being free where is the money and momentum going to come to keep pushing the Os forward?
UAE, the Universal Amiga Emulator I think is one of the best developed emulators for a system and its been ported to just about every system you can think off, PSP, PS3, Android, Wii etc etc, but how many user has that actually brought into the Amiga world other than to play the retro games, I mean how come no one is making simple touch games / programs for the Amiga user under use of the UAE if the AmigaOS is the best OS for these type of devices. Simple Answer is AmigaOS is not the best device for this you would have to change it and adapt it so much so was it really worth using the AmigaOS as a bases and could you still call it AmigaOS by the end of it? _________________ AmigaNG, YouTube, LeaveReality Studio |
