As I stated earlier in this thread I tried OS4 twice and found it so severely lacking it soured me to hyperion to the point that I will never give them another penny no matter what product they release.
Personally even though I own Morphos, I consider myself a classic user and my goal from any next generation solution is to run my classic applications faster. I'd let my 7 year old Peg2 take the pepsi challenge against in classic emulation speed against any OS4 hardware. If I need more speed I've got a 1.5 GHz Mac Mini sat here waiting (currently working as my iTunes server) or a 1.2 GHz G4 Power Mac that I can Buy a 1.8 GHz CPU upgrade for. If I went to OS4 the fastest hardware I could run is the same 7 year old board I already own but the integrated classic emulation has been proved to be slower than on Morphos (I seriously doubt that the 460 with its more modern features can make up for a CPU that still essentially at least a generation behind the G4).
There is NO next generation Amiga solution that can cope with my day to day demands from my computers (I use a mix of Windows, Linux, Mac's and commerical Unix's).
I also find the OS4 community a very caustic environment from hyperion through the developers and down to many of the users, where if your face doesn't fit or your opinions differ to the official hyperion party line that you're labelled a troll. The Morphos community by comparison tend to be much more laid back, as is the classic community where every one tends to get on (with the exception of one particular Scotsman :p ) As someone who tends to be straight talking and not masseur of fevered egos I'll just pass on joining a group of people I find that I know I'd piss off without trying.
While I'm on a roll I find it f$%king annoying that some OS4 apps are been labelled as AmigaOS apps.
