AmigaOS 4XX - MorphOS etc

[spirantho]

Basically, both MorphOS and AmigaOS 4 are "next-gen" Amiga-like experiences, but when it comes down to it it's entirely subjective.  Don't be out off by people yelling propaganda about either system, both have their fans and their haters. Both have strengths and weaknesses, and both allow Classic Amiga programs which don't use the hardware directly to run, you don't need UAE on either. Some say MorphOS is slightly more compatible with classic programs but I have few troubles on my os4 machines either.

Personally, I have both and I use OS4 a lot more, because I find it more comfortable, but you may find the opposite.

WHY was my reply to this comment, made yesterday, mysteriously removed???

It was not in breach of *any* terms of service or "netiquette", it was merely a short list of *objective* reasons that could (or even should) affect ones choice, made as a counterclaim to the above "it's entirely subjective", and the post was polite its tone.

Is Amiga.org turning into what AW.net was a decade ago, where threads get locked/removed, posts disappear etc in a subjective manner in order to favor a certain group of people's economical interests?

While I have no idea what you wrote, I stand completely by its being subjective.

To some people, MS-DOS is better than Windows 7, yet on paper Windows 7 is clearly superior.

Horses for courses, and all that.

It is subjective, and the very fact that I prefer using AmigaOS and you prefer using MorphOS is proof of that (and I have a Peg II which dualboots).

It's *NOT* "entirely subjective" to everyone!

So it is subjective to some people then?
Sounds pretty subjective to me....

By your statements Windows is much better than MorphOS too, so why are you using it?

We're all here because we like using our chosen Amiga-like OS, and the reasoning for this choice is entirely subjective.

Remember, to the outside world, they can't understand why you're using MorphOS when they're using what are - on paper - much better OSes.

As I said, it is entirely up to the user which is "better", and that's subjective.

That's my final statement on the matter, not getting drawn into a futile war of words.
