    > Software based rendering is NOT a solution.

    Where did I say anything about software rendering in what you quoted from me?

    Every new generation of Radeons is NOT backward compatibile? Phew, AMD doesn`t know how to do the job.


    If you want to slow down technological progress then backward compability is the way to go. The Amiga in general is a good example.

    No, I dislike Windows being incompatibile with Windows.
    Linux keeps the tradition.

    But I do acknowledge at least sandboxing (virtual boxes, emulators) should
    be included if full compatibility isn`t possible.

    Also, OS can grow in many other ways then just breaking the comaptibility.

    Its way of making money too - look how Windows FORCES people not only to buy new hardware but new software. If I am satisfied with legal copy of Photoshop 6.x I expect it to run at least emulated. MorphOS should keep that tradition.

    "Wazp3D 56 [...] will appear on Aminet soon [...] This version Allow hardware rendering for morphos/warpos progs : mainly WipeOut2097 (yeeeess) and the demos from "Encore""
    http://www.amiga.org/forums/showpost.php?p=775580

    Now there:

    "Beta 56 [...]: With a BIG help from Szilárd 'BSzili' Biró the WarpOS version works now :-) [...] So now Wazp3D-morphos got soft & hard rendering (based on hard TinyGL)
    1) Old 68k OS3 progs works
    2) WOS ppc progs works (WipeOut2097!!!, BlitzQuake)
    3) New ppc OS4 progs dont works because OS4emu dont support Warp3D v5 (the OS4 one used for MiniGL progs). But some rare OS4 ppc demos just based on OS3 sources may works
