"ACube Systems are on the right track with their boards and Amiga OS 4.1"
 
Yeah because selling 10 year old spec hardware for MORE than todays spec prices is the right track, using an os that doesn't do flash, smp, overlay or any other modern os features.  is that really "on the right track"?
 
some people are just delusional when they link os4 has any hope of gaining any significant market share. Its a hobby os, and unless they port to hw that makes sense (arm or intel) and do significant work on the os so that it can compete with modern os systems like windows,osx or linux, thats where it will stay.

Whats frustrating is that each NG option has problems...

Os4 systems too slow to do anything, won't running many classic games right without frame skipping and stuttering sound,no youtube, no good apps for creative folks (video or audio editors?) crazy expensive.

I think morphos inexpensive hw is too slow for many things... which is unfortunate because the cost of ownership is much lower than os4.

Aros is looking like the option that has the best chance of being able to be an everyday os, because it will run on fast hardware but it really needs better browsing like morphos, and a way to support multiple cores (same for morph and os4) Its a waste running aros on a dual or quad core intel pc.

All of the systems are decent, but no replacement for your everyday work os.

I hope they all continue to improve.
