Me too, but I'll look elsewhere, where the development is still hot.


Like AROS?

"Where does MorphOS go without MUI? That is the big question."


In a word... Zune...

Its still a big slap in the face for Stefan Stuntz... "Oh, wel can't pay you, but rather than try and come to some sort of compromise, we'll use this open source clone".


Yeah ,that sucks.

Don't forget also that MorphOS MUI has more features than the 3.9 CVS version of MUI, which itself is a lot more complete than Zune (AFAIK), so they'd either have to bring Zune up to MOS MUI level, or take out features that require the latest MUI classes.


Well bringing Zune up to the MOS MUI level would be cool!! :-D

I'm honestly not sure that a "EULA" can exist for hardware devices.  Especially if you can take a piece of hardware don't use ANYTHING about the software then write an OS to go on top of it.

It's different for things like X-boxes, PS2's, etcetera because those were generic devices and not intended to run an "OS", but to play licensed games.  Hacks to those devices are generally specifically intended to run pirated games, whereas porting MorphOS to the Mac would be akin to YellowDog Linux running on a Mac.  (It's a waste of a good Mac to run Yellow Dog on it, but to each his own)

But then it's a waste of a good Mac not using it to stop your papers from blowing away... :lol:

With Michals recent time constraints... maybe not would be a good time to recruit a new Peg AROS dev :-)
