Macworld is a web site and monthly computer magazine dedicated to products and software of Apple inc. It is published by Mac Publishing, which is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Published since 1984, the magazine has the largest audited circulation (both total and newsstand) of Macintosh-focused magazines in North America, more than double its nearest competitor, MacLife (formerly MacAddict). Macworld was founded by David Bunnell (publisher) and Andrew Fluegelman (editor). It is the oldest Macintosh magazine still in publication.

Good exposure for MorphOS, targeted to a broad, compatible-hardware-owning audience, which will hopefully inspire many PPC mac owners to dig out their G4/G5s and download the ISO.

Thanks to Kimmok & foobar for the link.
Mac Mini G4 (1.5GHz, 64MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.6

Some people are complaining as usual:
- some think it looks too colorfull on the screenshot which was posted there
- some dont´t like the font
- for some it is too expensiv or the demo-time is too short
- for some it looks too much like linux
- for some it looks too less like linux
- some say it is not enough compatible with 68k software (games mostly)
- some want x86 HW to run it on

And then as usual the "dead horse riding"-bull%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@! comments ;-)

To be fair I read mainly the negative comments because it is more amusing ;-)


Is that a general comment about the NG Amiga forums? :lol:
