And these is also a brief interview with BBRV here:

In the interview there are these following interesting statements:

This point in particular is very very interesting:

And regarding MOS:

This following point is strictly related with MorphOS, actual situation and its future:

Well... Any suggestion to find a solid market for MorphOS?

Help BBRV to find a market of reference for MOS and our future will be enhanced, safer and secured well.

IMHO (and to give a first advice) selling ODW with only Linux and "hiding" that there is MorphOS also which could be used on these workstation as alternative OS, doesn't help much the developing of MorphOS.

Yes. Any ODW user can download MOS from its repository, but again this doesn't help it much, because many of these users have no clue about MOS.

There must be proper instructions to download it included into the package of ODW,as notes with the manuals, and more, there must be instructions how to use it side by side with Linux flavours.

Or better, it could be helpful to spend a few more cents investing in it and include MOS installation CD (or better a MOS LIVE CD, which doesn't harm Linux installation), into ODW package, and explain plain and carefully to alien ODW users that MOS is the NATIVE OS born with Pegasos/ODW.

If you want a market, you should create it. The lesson that Cellular Telephony gave us in the past, teach it all.

These are my 2 cents.

Including a MorphOS live CD is a good idea -
but it would need to go far beyond the current MOS install CD .

Currenly MOS ships without network, without browser, without video player, ...
I doubt that the current MOS CDs will impress many people.

Look at a typical Linux Live CDs - it comes with a tool for everything.


If you want to "win" people for MorphOS then you will need a MorphOS distribution including all sort of apps.
Ranging from audio, irc, mail, office, surfing to video. And it would be clever to include at least a good game too.

So basicly to succeed you'll need to continue and improve what Genesi has started with the Superbundle.

the EFIKA should be a very good Morphos DEVICE. like Minimac or micro Aone.
Me wish is having a PDA with MOS. I dream about Eclipsis all nights

IMO MorphOS doesn't suit the Open Desktop Workstation.
MOS is closed source and like BigGun pointed out -
not much of use in its current form.

Genesi/Thendic also invested 500.000 USD in MorphOS
and what did we get? Seriously, half a million and not
even an IP-stack?.. How much would it take just to get
a decent browser? 1M?

Well, TCP stack is worth 806.14, it leaves 999193.86 for a browser .

Hehe! :)
