MorphOS 2 vs. AmigaOS 4.1 (pros/cons)

[zylesea]

IMHO MorphOS is the smarter choice for a couple of reasons. One of the biggest advantages is the better hardware support: You have support for Efika, Pegasos 1&2 and  soon G4 Mac Mini.
While the Sam may be a nice board its price/performance ratio is really poor, plus OA4.x has nothing to offer that MorphOS hasn't (but that is my personal assessment).

On MorphOS WarpOS and Warp3D just works fine (I still like and play WipeOut 2097 on my Pegasos very much). But also PowerUp applications are no prob on MorphOS. Also the OS4 Emu (which is no emulation, but an API wrapper) enables many OS4 apps to run on MorphOS.

I actually prefer the OS 4.1 prefs system over a monolithic preferences editor.

What exactly do you mean by "monolithic prefserences editor"?
There are seperate files for all preferences in Morphos:prefs/mprefs/ and IIRC there's still a way to launch them seperately - but for what benefit?
In MorphOS you get a unified window where you specify which preference you like to edit. You may chose to have this OS X like design or in a rather MUI typical lister view (which I prefer).

Another thing for chosing either AOS4 or MorphOS to consider is, to look for ppl in your region which system they have.
In my area back in 2002 I was the 1st (or was I 2nd? doesn't matter anyway) to have a Pegasos and a while after a small bunch of ppl followed that route. On major reason was to focus knowledge on *one* system.
