Next MorphOS version: 3.0! (Not 2.8)

[jj]

This is a forum. I don't think there are (or should be) rules regarding comment/comparison between systems.
 
Certainly the price (not the only reason but one), is more than I am willing to spend for a hobby os - I believe morphos could be far more attractive to developers if this was changed. However, it is certainly good news for Morphos users (apart from the g5 imac/powerbook support). and good that existing users get free upgrades.

I take it you feel the same about AOS4 price wise ?
 
I also agree, anyone is and should be free to post on any thread as long as its on topic, which everyhtijng has been so far

Its why I eneded up on MorphOS.  I couldn't try out AmigaOS4 , no demo , no hardware to run it on.
 
From the continued support, free upgrades, and the fact from what I have read of AOS4, MorphOs is miles ahead of it feature wise, I am glad that they have got the sense to have a demo version.
 
I can not see an argument for not having a demo version.
 
As far as I know no one has cracked/hacked MorphOS to beat the 30 min limint on the demo, so I don't see piracy as reasons for the other camp not to go with a demo.
 
Or are they ashamed for people to try before they buy?

Checking if I'm an os4 fanboy?
 
I feel the same, if not perhaps more-so as the hardware is more expensive too.

Who me

A demo doesn't make much sense when you have to go out and buy/own specific hardware to run it on in the first place.
 
I can't see anyone going out and buying a Sam/AmigaONE and then wanting to try out the OS before making their mind up to spend the £100 on OS4.

 
But there is a chance a lot of people already own the hardware capabale of running MorphOS so can try it out at no cost.
 
No one is already oging to own the hardware that can run AOS4 and not be running it.

whilst i don't reallty like the registration model for morhpos , it is what it is.

No if your hardware fails, the procedure is to contact the MorphOS devs who will inform you of the procedure to obtain a new kwy for your new hardware.
 
I repeat in the vent of hardware failure you can transfer the key to a new machine after contacting the MorphOS devs.
