MorphOS, AmigaOS 4 or BeOS

[spirantho]

I havent seen MOS running yet...so I'd stick w/OS4.

Seriously, AmigaOS 4 isn't ready yet for mainstream - but it's very close. I've not seen MorphOs running at all recently, but I can say I'm very pleased with AOS4 - despite it being a pre-release it's become my main home machine already (the Windows machine is little more than a glorified Civilisation III console these days). And it's really nice to code for, too! The API is much nicer from what I've seen, compared to older AmigaOSes - which is what MorphOS is based on.

Put it this way - no way am I getting rid of my AmigaOne...

Looking at most threads Wishmaster has taken part in on this and the AmigaWorld.net, many of his contributions have been the one-sided fanatical sort which gives Pegasos/MorphOs a bad name....  Maybe one day we'll all learn that we're fighting a common cause....

@KennyR:

Thanks for clearing that up in a non-biased way.
It's true that the Frieden's have 'modernised' the AmigaOS API rather a lot, but personally I've yet to see anything that I completely disagree with - far from it. The problem is, that to make big changes you will have to causes changes in old source, but that shouldn't mean you shouldn't ever change the API. Just look at the Windows mess for an example of that....
