It's more than I'd expect from an article written by someone from the Mac camp.

Ya... it sucks, they should have went with the Deskmate look instead.

Personally I think MorphOS is the most beautiful OS I have ever laid eyes upon. Next to it I always liked the look (and behavoir, most certainly the behavior) of BeOS/Haiku.

 Windows 8 actually reminds me of DeskMate ironically enough, but with more color and sharper images.

I always felt that having something like Puh Der Baer or Nalle Puh for MorphOS would have gone a long way. Mind you I was told about a month ago by one of the developers (I forget which one) that he planned on starting work on it just as soon as he finished his other pile of work.  He said it shouldn't be too hard.

 On the one hand, we still lage ECS/AGA compatability, but for the most part, many of our desktop apps work, all except those needing Paula, which again is where Nalle Puh would come in. Like with Amithlon, all audio would go through AHI, thus leaving us with an even better Amiga clone...

...though I wonder why this wasn't done in the VERY beginning, seeing as MorphOS was supposed to be the future of Amiga OS/Work Bench back in the day.

Well, some people don't get it.
But "better to get the real thing"?
Only if games are your focus.

I use a MorphOS system every day and rarely fire up my real Amiga.

Right! A real camp classic. I was waiting for someone to recognize that.


 I don't imagine a movie as great as that will ever hit theaters again. :/
