I understand that Graphics don't make or break and OS, but for marketing to shallow American consumers, and perhaps the rest of the world (I dunno), it IS VERY important. The more I look at these screen shots, the more I think that this looks like perhaps and upgrade we would have expected back in the early 90's...

 MorphOS on the other hand is looking quite well, but from what I hear, it does not funtion well, so if we had the funtionality of OS 4 (if it is as good as they claim), and the looks of Morphos, we could have something good started. Until then, I live in doubt.

I know, only time will tell, I am just wondering though why these are the screen shots they have chosen to show off, cause they really look bad.

 As long as they provide with a fully functional MODERN OS, I'm happy, I can really care less what it looks like either, I just figured with the attention of guys at OS news and other such places, you would want things looking as good as you could get them, but if you terget market is not the average consumer (which makes up a large percent of the market I might add) then I guess you can go which ever way you want.

 I don't mean any offence though, I am VERY greatful for the work you guys are doing, really I am, but I can not help be worry like hell about the future of my beloved Amiga. Life was fine before Microsloth and generic hardware stole the market (prices are always the key), but now that Microsloth IS the market, it is going to take a lot to get it back, and you are going to need to target as many audiences as you can, not just us geeks, or the strictly Amiga freaks, but the dim witted commen consumer as well. We'll need this in Wal-Mart and all over the entertainment media basically is what it boils down to, And I think there has to be an inexpensive way of reaching that goal without sacrificing quality or the spirit of Amiga. Notice Mac is back...

...but who is buying? Only a select few, but there problem right now is not only software and drivers, but the freaking price.

Buddy Christ, I wish you lived close to me so I could come over and check out MorphOS, would be nice to live in Germany so I could sneak into H&P and have a look at Amiga OS 4. :)
