First thing to remember, MorphOS by itself is useless. What can you do with an OS and no hardware to run it on? Or no apps to run on it? What needs to be discussed and explored is the combination of hardware, software, and most of all, the end user. It is at this last point that the big-3 of Windows, Macintosh and Linux/UNIX have always failed. Windows sold to the lowest-common demoninator, Macintosh to a singular vision of the future, and the UNIX-alikes to hardware-banging geeks. What Amiga always strove for, instead, was making a system that, rather than presenting a vision to you, offered you a blank canvas, some paint and a brush to then create your own vision. MorphOS, showing it's roots, works in the same vein, offering the foundations but not forcing it's landscape before your eyes. As a result, what it can do is limited solely to what the imagination of the end-user is. It is a user-centric approach to computing, and it is very exciting because it has come after the last great user-centric OS, BeOS, has blown away in the dust. But MorphOS offers a better opportunity than Be did. When Be began, it had 1 of the two supplimental parts, the hardware, but no software to make it usable by you and me. MorphOS, by it's Amiga heritage, comes into it's own fully fitted with a legion of applications. Some might be old, some might be dusty, but wars have been won using the leftovers found in a war colleges museum.
