Plus it might be nice if an "untainted" user could be stuck in front of a Pegasos machine running MorphOS/Linux and write down what they think of the experience ... by "untainted" I mean someone who isn't an Amiga/MorphOS zealot and hasn't been subjected to the years of bickering


Is there such a person on planet Earth? :-) Those who are not Amiga/MorphOS Zealots will compare it to the current Operating Systems out there - like the OSNews article about the Peg I and MorphOS, and will completely miss the perspective of the average Amiga user.

I actually hope that Amiga and Amigalike systems will become interesting for this kind of users again one day.


It will take a serious overhaul to get the AmigaOS API back among the state of the art architectures. MorphOS already implemented many must to have features and the whole OS was rewritten from scratch, but there is still a long way till it can compete with the giants out there with zillion dollars and users behind them.

It [AmigaOS API] has some advantages though, as it's slim, exceptionally responsive, and amazingly fast compared to others. Only future can tell which one will prevail :-)
