AmigaOS 4XX - MorphOS etc

[Iggy]

Naturally, I'm biased, but I don't think I can agree with any of this.
Frankly, I have PCs. And I run Windows, OSX, and Ubuntu.
But I really like MorphOS and believe OS4 is progressing reasonably well.
Both run Amiga PPC software far better then a PPC equipped Amiga and either will run newer games and software ported to these platforms.
Further, if you've developed software under Amiga OS3.X, adapting to a MorphOS or AOS environment is relatively straight forward.

Thanks for all of your input. I'm currently installing OS 3.9 on WinUAE, and I'll make my decision later now ha ha ha...I think I may still buy a cheap Mini Mac G4, and then see how I like morphOS.

That's kind of how I got hooked.
I bought a Quicksilver Powermac on Ebay for $19.95 (w/o hard drive, memory or video card).
All I had to do was reseat the CPU card, add memory, and a hard drive (which I already had) and install a cheap video card.
My initial MorphOS investment was under $50.
 
Then I started using it. Its quite cool.

A small point to note is that if you happen to run OS4 on classic hardware then plenty (not all, but that would be a stretch) of 68K apps which do require the native hardware continue to work.

Very good point, Karlos.
From what I've seen, a PPC equipped Amiga running OS4 is quite compatible with older apps (and it runs them much quicker).
