I don't know if morphos is ahead of aros but that seems to be what most people who have had or used both say... I really want to try MorphOS soon.

I never got to play with Morphos because every time I have extra money to buy a mac or something to run it on, something else comes up. I've been saying if they add g5 support I'm all in, I don't think I'd wait anymore.

I've stuck with aros for now because it runs on anything.

Yes Aros needs work, but its convienant, runs on anything and its free.

"Aros? It hasn't reached revision 1.0 yet."

Thats a bit of a strange benchmark for a systems usefulness and ability.

Usually a 1.0 designation is given when the system is fully matured, has been bug checked and bug checked again and gain, is stable and more or less a completely working system. If you think that os4 has been through that level of work and streamlining your sadly mistaken.

Just because its called os4.0 dosn't mean its as progressed as a 4.0 revision os would usually be. It was called that simply because of the previous version numbering.

Morphos 2.7 (and the coming 3.0) however, I will say actually DESERVE that version numbering. Os4.0 does not. In its current form, Its more like newamigaos 0.5 alpha. I don't believe os4 deserves the distinction of a 1.0 designation myself, but thats purely my opinion after using it for awhile. I found it buggy and crashy as hell. (so does my friend with a sam board, who by the way thought that expense was a ripoff when he saw what the machine could do, or more importantly what it could not do)

I've heard other people complain about Aros crashing but I've used it for years with very little crashing. (much less than any classic amiga anyway) So long as your using supported hardware, it runs great.

I don't believe aros is far off from what would be considered a 1.0 release by just about any coder or software developer. Go look at windows 3.0 or 3.1. or windows me if you think version #'s are important.

Was I the only bitter one when he realized you HAD to use windows eventually?

Dos was good. DRDOS was awesome. Windows is what was ****ty.
