MUI shouldn't be a standard since it is not a free application (unless it's changed since I looked at their website a long time ago). Making users purchase MUI in addition to AmigaOS and hardware just to run a "standard" application is bad, bad, bad. If MUI was a minimum standard, then new users couldn't even run such "standard" applications if they didn't have a full copy of MUI.

@jacadcaps & @Kronos

Is it the full version of MUI or a crippled version?

*edit*
I read the news item. Is the AmigaOS GUI preference separate from the MUI preferences so that users can still change parts of the GUI such as colors, pointers, etc.? If the included version of MUI cannot be reconfigured then doesn't that limit the users ability to change colors, pointers, etc. of the Workbench? Or is MUI and the OS4 GUI separate enough so that color changes and pointer changes can be made?
