An Operating System of Convenience

One of the reasons that we don't focus more effort on the Windows version of Aladdin 4D is that it is not an operating system of convenience. Sure Windows is everywhere and everyone uses it for now but it is not very convenient or loved. People use it because they have to not because they want to. With the dangers of virus, spyware and adware infections, configuration nightmares and the horror story that is Windows Vista expect Windows use to continue to plummet in the coming years.

These problems with Windows have given rise to more convenient operating systems like Mac OS X. The years 2006-2008 have been record sales years for machines running OS X from Apple. Believe it or not this helps operating systems like AROS, MorphOS & Amiga OS 4.1 because it breaks the cycle of Windows dependance and opens up peoples minds to other choices. Amiga inspired operating systems with thier lighting fast boot times and ease of use are convenant and friendly to customers.

Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery


Microsoft followed our lead and they too are giving away a Windows 3D animation program for free. They also know the true value of Windows (-$0) it seems and are trying to prop it up with no cost animation software and hurt other 3D animation software companies at the same time. Our offer of a free Aladdin 4D for Windows comes at a price, you must buy one of the other versions and are given the Windows version for free as a bonus because you just might have a Windows machine lying around. Microsoft's offer of a free 3D animation program is a poison pill meant to chain you to the Windows empire forever.

The Four Headsmen of Amiga

The first time around when the Amiga was doing things other computers never even thought of doing, Ray-traced 3D animation, stereo sound, bit blitter graphics, multitasking, etc, the Amiga lost out in the platform wars. Even the Mac lost out and was replace in name alone with a much more powerful hybrid. A NeXT, FreeBSD, Unix based operating system (Mac OS X). This time around the Amiga is not alone and has four headsmen; MorphOS, Amiga OS 4.1, AROS, Amiga virtual machine (Amiga Forever 2008). The IT industry is still young and at least one or more of these will rise again and be enjoyed by millions. The Amiga itself sold over 7 million machines and it was an exciting time. How many versions of the four headsmen of the Amiga will sell in the future is unknown but we hope for exciting times again. Innovative Developers and users will make it happen this time not a solo greedy parent company. We know who you were thinking but we meant Commodore.
