The Pegasos by far has the best features of the two.  And it's expandable now, not a disposable like the SE.
I hope OS 4 will be made available for the Pegasos.

MorphOS is not open source. It is closed source and commercial. I would rather have a semi-open source commercial OS (like Apple's current strategy) but oh well.


Honestly I would run OSX if I had a decent Mac... screw running some weird OS on good hardware...
OSX is by far superior to AOS/MOS or even Linux....

Why anyone with a G4 mac would wanna dump OSX in favor of AOS/MOS I dont know.

I'm running a dual 867 with 2Gb and OS X Jaguar and wouldn't trade it or Apple's Developer Tools for anything out there.  I've always been a fan of NeXT and OpenStep and simply enjoy programming for that environment, so it was easy for me to move to Cocoa.  In my opinion it's the best thing out there.  My only interest in OS4 and AmigaOne would be to fool around with programming.  I never really tried to on the classic platform and so I want to give the new system and software a try.
I think that Amiga, Inc can learn from Apple by bundling free development tools with the OS so kickstart, pardon the pun, the developer interest in the platform.  Pro and hobbyists alike.

I don't mind developing with Cocoa. I love Objective-C. However I do not like the behavior of Cocoa apps. Furthermore a lot of former NeXT-heads don't seem to have a clue when it comes to human interface design. I think one mistake NeXT made was thinking that high-level API abstraction meant it isn't necessary to have human interface guidelines which obviously isn't the case.

Not that this has anything to do with Amiga.


I agree 100%.   I still believe the best strategy would have been to develop OS 4 for multiplatform use to expose it to a larger testbed and finally far more potential users.
