They would still be running on stupid Apple legacy hardware. That's nonsense to begin with.


Would you rather have *available for cheap* Apple legacy hardware or a overpriced one-off motherboard thats also a deadend and expensive to replace?

Well, I would prefer an good-priced board  that's not a deadend and cheap to replace, like the Raspberry Pi. What we have now, overpriced deadend hardware (OS4) or legacy Apple crapware (MOS) is not desirable at all.
I wouldn't touch an OS4 board with a 10mts pole, if you're talking about that.

But it's Amiga we're talking about. Rational decisions that are good for both final users and developers aren't very common in Amiga-land.

 It has the best user community I have ever seen, tough :)


I'm not too concerned with a new mobo setup.  I'm content with my G5 and hopefully soon a PowerBook :-)

Baby steps first...I'm sure the MorphOS Dev Team knows which direction to head.

When this OS4/MOS absurdity ends, open source Amiga OS will rule, as it's naturally destined to be.

uh, no thanks. I don't think we'd need any other efika like experience anymore. Morphos is for desktop use and it needs memory nowadays, and reasonable powerful cpu doesn't hurt either.

You just couldn't run for example owb reasonably with pi's memory.

Switching from ppc to anything else will be really huge job. Unti you can't have much better specced system there isn't any point to talk about it. I'll think pi's life is over before we could get morphos ported to it. I bet it's forgotten soon when you get little more powerful comparable systems available. It just got little hype, but that won't last too long. We'd need long term continuity and availablility for any systems we go. Used macs have been sold that much during the years, that they are safe bet for now.

As interesting as it sounds ....let's steer this topic back to 3.2 MorphOS and not porting to other platforms.

All I know is that I'm having a great time with this release.  Never did I think we'd be running on a G5.  :-)
