Why people compare aros with morphos all time?
Why not?

mos and os4 at least are compatible with many classic applications just with a double click, this make a real amiga feeling (at least in morphos i never try os4).
The same thing is currently being developed for AROS. There are 2 different approaches atm (J-UAE and Emumiga).

Apples and orranges.  They are for hardware banging games and apps I believe.

Quite true for J-UAE, not quite true for Emumiga: http://emumiga.com/about

MorphOS changes 68k to PPC code on the fly and I beleive.  MorphsOS is 3.1 binary comptaible for asystem frienddly, not the same as running an emulator.

For the end user experience, this doesn't matter.

I stand corrected on the Emumiga front.  However I think it does make a difference to the end users as converting to ppc code and using the system api gives a) much more integration b) is much much much faster


I think both solutions have their advantages & disadvantages. In my experience, the greatest disadvantage of the MorphOS/Trance approach is that many old Amiga applications simply aren't "system friendly enough" to work properly/work at all.

But we're getting quite off topic...
