Why is Morphos considered by many as the 'new Amiga OS' ?

[Warface]

I try to pretend it doesn't exist.

No idea how good either of them are as I have nver tried either.

To turn your argument around, this tells everything about why Hyperion's OS is seen by everyone as the next AmigaOS.

Why is Morphos seen by many as a very valid Amiga alternative?

As it is faster, more mature, more compatible, more advanced and more robust than AmigaOS4?

Fact is, it's not AmigaOS. That's why it is an alternative.

I understand that Amiga 680x0 stuff runs on both systems via JITS emulation.

Correct.

Just wondering... is software released for OS4 usually ported to MorphOS and vice versa?

MorphOS, just as it has for PowerUP/WarpOS and Warp3D, has also a wrapper for OS4 programs called OS4emu.

It's not perfect, so not every program will work, but there is quite a range.

Didn't understand this.
Just got up so am probably being a bit thick.
What exactly did you mean?

It's just a partial quote

I referred to ignorance regarding alternatives. Which renders for most OS4 the one and only.

[Warface]

I assume nobody is making a great deal of money out of any of the above and potentially all three could bite the dust.

That's a very valid fear. Luckily(?) Amiga and the alternatives tend to go on forever in zombi mode without fuel :-)

There's very little money in either AROS, MorphOS or OS4. Yet all three is showing definite life signs.
