@Kenny:

Out of interest, how have they implemented memory protection and altivec support in MorphOS?

@KennyR:

Yes I know that Altivec support has been in MOS for some time now, but I was getting the impression from your e-mail that it was somehow better (how?).

When the AmigaOS 4.0 hits the store, we can compare the emulation speed.

Memory protection. I think it's a good start to have 0 address and stack protected (at least coders should appreciate it a lot :). I think the plan is to move TOWARDS better protection when people actually begin to code for AmigaOS 4, when old, possibly badly-written software loses its point.

@Bill H:

Maybe so, but I think that many Pegasos and A1 owners have been quite happy with their computers. If somebody wonders which she should buy perhaps a little waiting is good, since AmigaOS 4.0 was just pre-released (to developers).
