Article Discussions / Re: Adding an extra thing to the ArcaOS strategy ?
« on: Today at 11:50:43 am »
ArcaOS could embrace the apple strategy when they created OS/X of using an open source base system (in their case Darwin) with thier own commercial propriety system on top of it (keeping the OS/2 UI for example). And, they had created the "classic" mode to allow old os 9 apps to still work.
Would require them embracing a totally new direction though.
Sounds kind of complicated to just replace single parts with open source technology - so at some point it makes more sense to fundamentally change the rules of the game like Apple did I think.
I mean, I know it takes less resources to just keep going with what they have.
But at the same time, at some point it makes more sense to jump onto a whole new ship if the old barge is starting to rust and getting holes and taking on water, as much as I love the 90's OS/2
