Yes, I have to agree with you.  Others on here will point out that OSX is comparable in price, but OSX supports multi-core CPUs and has a wealth of applications out there.  Try finding a decent office suite and a modern web browser for MOS.  OSX also supports a broader range of hardware.  MOS is still limping by on old ATI 9xxx series video cards. And yes, it will run on a multi-core system but only uses one core.


It is not that much about comparison of other products. It is a take it or leave it offer. Either you like it and and are willing to spend the money, or you aren't. It is not about being good or bad, right or wrong or such things. It is just a simple choice for the potential customer: Take it or leave it. It is not a bazaar where you can haggle for the price.

MorphOS cannot do any serious work, it is a retro user hobby. If you want to do serious work you get a Windows based PC, a Linux based PC or a Mac with OSX.

I beg to differ. I use MorphOS for my university courses (Bachelor and Diploma courses for Biology/neuroscience). I write apps for teaching and research with Hollywood, write articles and stuff with google docs using OWB and do literature searches with OWB, watch video material of my experiments with MPlayer, do sketches with TV paint, modify/manage pictures of my work with showgirls, read docs with Apdf, do my meal communication with YAM, edit texts with Cubic/Gold ED.
Sure, there are apps I am missing (drivers for I/O-cards, Matlab, Adobe illustrator to name two improtant apps for my work), but actually I use MorphOS on my Mac mini for earning money.

OWB or Netsurf won't do it.


Dunno what decent is in your book, but OWB is pretty decent. The only thing that could be better is Flash and hardware rendering of Cairo to speed some things up even more. But compability is great. Flash is losing importance, due to Apple and google pushing other formats.
