So were the Morph OS folks wrong all along?

Personally, I think OSX is a big improvement over earlier Mac OS'.
But then most of my recent experience has been Wintel based.

Of course with RIM pushing QNX based systems we may see a resurgence of micro-kernel based OS'. That approach has always offered distinct advantages. OS9 and RTOS (for DVI players) were micro-kernal based as is MorphOS.

Did you know, MacOSX is based on the Mach microkernel? Wikipedia it

No I hadn't heard that. Thanks. I wasn't aware that there were BSD implementations that used a micro-kernal.
That makes me appreciate Apple's OS all the more.

"Or you could say, selling a 111Euro incomplete, feature lacking and slightly unstable take on what Amiga OS could be with MUI on old out dated second hand macs hardware systems, then NO!"

Hmmm, my MorphOS box is pretty stable. And for incomplete, what are you referring to exactly?.*The last time i heard about os4 it didn't had usb 2.0 yet.

Actually, my Powermac has proven more stable than my Windows boxes running MorphOS. And we certainly have a more complete OS then AOS4.
But I'd take either before trying to resort to AOS3.X for day to day use.
NG systems aren't just an alternative, they're capable/modern enough to rely on for daily use.

Absolutely behind the times. No SMP, OpenGL isn't fully supported, Flash support sucks.
But if you're going to try to use an Amiga like system for modern computing, then NG OS' are light years past legacy systems in performance.
You can't convince me that a legacy Amiga can be upgraded to the point where it becomes a viable platform for modern computing. All three NG OS' are capable of performing at least adequately.
And I don't care what is and what is not a legitimate 'Amiga'.
I'd use an NG system or emulation rather than suffer with the poor performance that is inherent with legacy hardware.

All this talk of features I'd like to have (and mobile devices) has me looking at RIM's new tablet.
