MorphOS Milestone: 2000+ licenses sold

[klx300r]

First off congrats to the MorphOS team as I've tried it on a friends system and its a very polished & professional OS; however, that being said,
From a similar thread over at amigawotld.net:

Considering most MOS users I know have at least 2 or more registrations that's hopefully close to 1000 users. Now don't get me wrong this can only be good news but I honestly thought there'd be alot more. So much for the 'cheap hardware will bring the masses' crowd.
It appears there's a lot more than cheap entry into ones decision in choosing an alternative OS.

Then we clearly remember differently; what I remember is that a standard 2005 Powerbook G4 1,67GHz laptop beat the X1000 with margin.

But it doesn't matter and I don't care, this is about MorphOS, and the X1000 is utterly irrelevant.

sure but to be fair, let's not forget those so called 'tests' were only using one core of the X1000.

Amiga is a single core OS, so yes.

Besides, there are a few dual core/CPU machines available for MorphOS with more dual-power than the X1000.

true for now but hopefully we (all flavours) get dual core support:)

You are correct sir, I tried it, and somewhat like what I see, but face it, $200 for a OS that is still being developed, is about $151 more than Micro soft windows 8.

For that $49 that I spent for Windows 8, there is support for the computer that I am using if needed. I can buy just about any PC I want to use, and best of all there is software development and game development for it, and I don't have to wait 10 years for it to come out. GREAT STUFF.

yes but the point is that by buying a legit copy of MorphOS or AmigaOS4.x or using AROS (since it's already free) your supporting the current Amiga market & that's the main reason why most of us are here after all
