@kennyR:

Have you ever met any ex-Amigans now using Windows or Linux? They can be the most anti-Amiga people on the planet. They look at AmigaOS with nothing but scorn.

As always your just blabbering about something you have no clue about, just because you have a high post count doesnt mean that everyone should take your statements and opinions seriously.

You know perfectly clear that there are great number of ex amigans sitting on the fence, using win xp or whatever, waiting for something to happen.

And just because you ran into a couple of angry and disgruntled ex amiga users who switch OS, they`re not the average Joe Q. Public ex amiga user, now using win xp.

And I know there is an even bigger number of them who scoff at the Amiga, and know all its weaknesses so are great at using them to criticise it. You'll have to trust me on this, I've spoken to *many* on IRC. OSNews and Slashdot are usually full of them too. The moment they leave their Amigas for a PC or Mac they seem to suddenly believe that the Amiga was the ultimate in crapness, because it can't do . There are lots too, like Bill and Waccoon here, who are simply not happy with PPC hardware and will never return unless Amiga's direction changes to x86. Other reasons for other people include lack of software, lack of memory protection, lack of games, lack of hardware...you get the picture.

How many have you actually spoken to? Let me tell you something, 4 millions or more amigas were sold, some estimate that around 100000 are still interrested at some point, most check into amiga.com, just to see what direction the platform is heading, around 6% of those are you and me,  posting at various forums and etc.  and are involved at some point in the community.

Its os4 with some extra glitter and candles?  :-P
Take the name MorphOS, it should really change name, it`s not catchy at all, not a name the unfamiliars with the os would remember....

And besides, it is too similar to amigaOS to not be looked at as a clone...why not go in another direction with it?

Take its strong points and work further with that :-)
