Would you buy OS4 or MOS for x86?

[runequester]

Pipedream obviously, but figured it;d be worth a talk anyways

The question is pretty obvious.

EDIT: Left out any talk of ARM. You can mentally substitute I guess

I thought that this kind of thread would be gone

NO

This was done to catch 22 death already.

x86 = a million combinations of hardware. Drivers will never be finished for any x86 version of either. AROS is free anyway.

(answer = no to be clear )

PS can't vote as no "waiting for R-MIGA A1000" option.

MorphOS does not support all combinations of Mac PPC hardware but it didn't stop users registering it.

This poll is to get poinst or what? because is very stupid this question, I buy OS 4 for PPC machines, not for X86, why? because there are Linux, free and ejem currently with more programs than OS4, and other option Windos, well.....

I would buy both OS4 and MOS for x86 if I could use them on one of the x86 systems I already own.  I would not buy a new x86 system for either operating system.

I already have a PPC system that I use every day.

The people who own the 1% of all Macs ever made that are supported you mean?

For x86 you will need to spend 1000s of man hours going from PPC to x86.....then send 1000s more creating drivers for a fraction of the 1 million component combinations still in use that equal the x86 'standard'. That's the problem....x86 being a standard is an illusion and the Windows registry file he duct tape holding it together[badly].

The question isn't whether its realistic. I know its not, and admitted as much above.

The question is if you'd buy it

My attitude too, has to be a better OS on the machine I want to use= problem

[EDanaII]

I'd buy one or the other, but not necessarily both.

I know, so I added the post above relating to x86 OS4 purchase if I could

For x86 not, for ARM and for PPC yes.

Whitelisting various models of Intel Macs as they currently do with PPC Macs would be a nice way of releasing MorphOS for x86.

i would buy both... why not, if it support hw i allready got...

I don't bealive in your words, do you spent 110 euros in MorphOS for x86 when for 90 you have a Windows or the best Linux free? OS4 and Morphos are for PPC or ARM systems, systems much better than x86.
