I bought MorphOS to run on my PegII out of curiosity and because I believed the crap that "others" were spouting on here about how MorphOS would turn your system into a high performance machine.  Well, that was a load of crap and I expected more from an OS that cost me more than $200 USD.  



So, what did you expect, and why were you so disappointed, exactly? Also, did you use amigaos before?

And until Piru publishes some real sales numbers I'll continue to disbelieve him when he says the move to MacMini was a huge success.  He also tried to get me to believe that MorphOS wasn't a "business" venture.  That's the typical dodge when someone doesn't want to admit that their "business" isn't being successful.  


If we compare the proportion of Mac sales to Peg1/Peg2/Efika sales, it's definitely not a failure. And this is indeed not a business for us, we all have a real job for that. But whether you believe it or not, we don't really care. :)

And this crazy belief that MorphOS will supercharge your 5 year old hardware is ridiculous.  Why do seemingly intelligent people continue to bring it up.  That's like believing that putting high test gasoline into a Model A Ford will turn it into something comparable to modern cars on the road today.


Well, try playing a 720p file on OSX or Linux on Mac mini, and you'll see the difference. Same for some emulators like UAE or MAME. MorphOS has much less overhead than OSX and Linux when it comes to graphics, and that shows well with the examples above.

Well, based on your logic people only buy MorphOS to look at the desktop since there's no decent software to use.  I had hoped that the MOS team would actually develop or port some decent apps to MOS, but in 3 years it hasn't happened and I'm certain it'll be the same in 3 more years.  I wasn't looking for a system to compete with anything.  I was looking for s system that was useful.  I'm still waiting.


I just love how you discard all the programs that have been developed or ported for MorphOS. Just in case you wouldn't know, MPlayer is a capable DVD player (and it has a builtin GUI, before you bring that kind of argument), and i want to believe OWB isn't totally useless, and it even does things FireFox can't yet (like playing HTML5 video on youtube, for instance).
