They are both about even.  MorphOS has better backward-compatability to AOS 3.x but AOS4 has more flexible library interfaces that will allow better backward compatability in the future (not to mention that it supports some POSIX-style shared libraries).

MorphOS with a Linux dual-boot is equivalent to the not-yet-released AmigaOS 4 except that AOS 4 will never support fork(). :-P

I guess Karlos is a betatester or knows one because the classic versions of AOS 4 and Petunia aren't going to be released until the final release.  The main advantage of Petunia over MOS' JIT is that Petunia will be supported under EUAE.  (Of course if you wanted to download the source to EUAE and splice it together yourself you could.)

@Piru

Fair enough.  The author of EUAE, Rich Drummond, had expressed an interest in using Petunia in conjunction with EUAE but it wasn't finallized.
