The moment OS4 is released, MorphOS will be no more worth to me than UAE or the A500 buried in my closet, as I'm interested in running new, modern Amiga software.


Currently there is more exclusive MorphOS-SW in the making then forOS4,
and no MorphOS is NOT an Amiga-emulator !!

It just includes a PPC-native reimplementation of the AOS-API and a 68k-Emu.
It has it's own kernel and it's own API (Q-BOX limited but exclusive).

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

A/Box is basically like WINE then...? No, OS required.
I assume there wil be other ?/Boxs for other OS APIs. An M/Box for Mac would be nice.

@Argo
Right!! (atleast one here understands the difference)

A M/Box is absolutly possible but..... (that had to come didn't it  :-x )

It took 1-2 years to recreate the relativly simple AOS-API even with
some help of the AROS-crew, how long to you think would it take
to recreate a beast like MacOS (even without OSX) ?

The only way to do this is either by something like iFusion or by
a port of Darwin, but this would need an MacOS-CD and bring MOS
right to the point where the A/BOX stand in November.

You know what came afterwards....
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
