I bet you weren't expecting that? Okay, I
admit it, neither was I. But that big things
were afoot was certainly on the cards. The
fact that we even had an article that was
talking about the branding and positioning
of RISC OS was certainly timely.
So what can we look forward to in the
future? From the press release that you can
read on the news pages of this issue you
will be able to see that Jack Lillingston of
Castle is not looking to put all his eggs in
one basket.
He is going to be working with another
company and getting RISC OS-based
consumer products into the market place in
a big way.
You might liken this to the activity of
ARM Ltd. The fact is that there are more,
many many more, ARM chips in use in the
world than there are Pentium chips of
whatever variety. It's just that you don't see
them. Just about every mobile phone has
an ARM chip and there are a lot of other
places they are put.
What we will be hoping to see with RISC
OS is the extension of the use of RISC OS
(now that it is 32-bit) into a whole multitude
of alternate products. The only "problem"
with that is that, as with ARM, the user will
neither know nor care that the system they
are using is running on RISC OS.
However it does matter to the "Trade"
what is running, companies that produce
mobile phones are aware that they are
driven by ARM. This in turn means that they
know that they have a reliable chip on their
hands that does not absorb a lot of power.
The same will have to become true of
RISC OS. It may take quite a bit of work,
and we're talking marketing here not
programming, to make RISC OS the
operating system of choice. But when you
consider how many ARM chips there are it
becomes reasonable to promote the
operating system that is tailor-made for it.
What then happens to the RISC OS
desktop market? Well as Jack pointed out
at least RISC OS is owned by a company
that actually cares about the desktop
market now. Obviously lyonix will be
continued and expanded as a product and
we will look to having the excellent Select
Scheme improvements incorporated into
RISC OS 5. Eventually going back to a
single operating system and frankly that is
not a moment too soon.
This one act was wiped out the divisive
break-up of the market, not instanta-
neously. but over a period of time perhaps
six months maybe a little longer. At that
point we will see all the strands of the
market coming back together and we can
move forward as a single unit again.
