So youre actually saying that 68k has more active users and developers than morphos/os4 ones? ..
Nope. I wasn't diferentiating between 68K/OS4/MOS, but the entire Amiga & Amiga-like market to the mainstream market. There is no viable software for the 68k/OS4/MOS markets. If you wanna play the latest games, you can't be serious about any of those. If you want serious business software, you can't be serious of any of those (and never could). Even desktop video and graphics software is better on the mainstream market. If you just want to surf your time away on the web, you'd still be better off with the mainstream market.
Get my point? No one is gonna invest big bucks into a computer that has almost zero utility. If you want to start off a new OS you'd best do so in such a way so that it's easy and cheap for people to buy into it. Ideally, OS4 would have been on PC hardware and software would have been given out for free or very little cost. The PC hardware would have been easy to do, the free release not so much. But still, even at a reasonable cost, AmigaOS4 could have been viable on standard hardware. That's my point.
