MorphOS, AmigaOS 4 or BeOS
« on: July 25, 2004, 10:14:50 PM »
Hi people,

With the recent pre-release of AmigaOS 4, I'm looking into my options - which are suprisingly quite a few atm :-D

I've been using BeOS for a past year or so and have found it great for a 'home' use and some development work. What I found lacking are some serious M$ Office-like applications. Future BeOS development is also under question. On the other hand, I don't need to go to a new hardware platform and most of the software is in freeware/shareware domain.

Well, with MorphOS and OS 4 I'd need to get my wallet out and invest some serious money into a sub-standard hardware (i.e. when comparing what can be bought in terms of Wintel platform for the same amount). However, there are abundance of software for both out there. I mean, when OS 4 is brought up-to-scratch they may be 'au pair' with eachother.

So many decisions... Would it be fair to say that MorphOS is at the top, while BeOS is still viable and cheapest option?
