Hope they don't, it is what makes it feel like an Amiga. MorphOS on the other hand doesn't feel or look anything like 3.9 or earlier.


Thank God for that.
Yes, let Hyperion do as they want.
If you're tied that much to a specific look and feel, you're likely to go with AOS 4.1.

Personally, I couldn't care less. Ambient is a significant improvement that functions similar to Workbench.

Scalos hasn't received enough polish.

Just an honest question: why do you feel Ambient is "so un-Amiga like"? I get it that it looks and feel different but "un-Amiga like"? I find most things very familiar from my Classic days. Unlike any Linux distro that I would really call "un-Amiga like".


I tend to agree with you, in that all the functions work the same.
Any Amiga user that knows how to reduce, enlarge, or bring a window to the foreground will immediately be able to use Ambient.
I don't understand, unless its only based on casual experience, where did the "un Amiga like" comments come from.
