"The hardware dongle issue also makes me lean a bit closer to the MOS camp."

I really don't understand this concern. If you buy OS4 bundled with an AmigaOne why would you care if licensing restrictions are in place to prevent someone else from copying it?

I just cross-posted a news item on the MorphOS article that was release yesterday:

MorphOS Article (HTML)

Interesting gameplan, particularly for the future (64-bit, X-Windows, multiprocessor support). But, the dependency on the PPC and unwillingness to consider the x86 due to context switching is a bit limiting to me.

"If WinXP required dongled x86 boards, there would be an uproar from people having to pay for Microsoft to physically dongle every x86 board on the market."

Er... XP does have a dongle -- it's called the internet.

Don't like anti-piracy measures? How does it grab you that your PC is open to scrutiny to the maker of the operating system? Of course, no one bootlegs software or downloads porn so why worry?  ;-)
