Public Release of MorphOS 2.6 & Introduction of PowerMac Support

[redrumloa]

Very, very nice! I gotta ask Santa for a MorphOS registration :-)

Yes, I have to agree with you. Others on here will point out that OSX is comparable in price, but OSX supports multi-core CPUs and has a wealth of applications out there. Try finding a decent office suite and a modern web browser for MOS. OSX also supports a broader range of hardware. MOS is still limping by on old ATI 9xxx series video cards. And yes, it will run on a multi-core system but only uses one core.

I paid $550 for a SuperCPU 128 back in 2007 (though it is now worth ~$1,500). Should I compare my 128 to a Mac with OSX too? ;-)

Sure. Compare away. The only system of the 3 that you can do any real work with is OSX. Peopled don't buy MOS for nostalgia. Nor do people buy OSX for nostalgia. They buy it to get things done. That's the point. You're trying to justify the expense of MOS like it's some sort of antique to be collected. MOS is still being produced. It's not an antique.

MorphOS cannot do any serious work, it is a retro user hobby. If you want to do serious work you get a Windows based PC, a Linux based PC or a Mac with OSX.
