Wouldn't linking to the actual official announcement be better?

Exactly, I use Windows for work as many I suppose, Mac at home and while I did all the settings you spoke about in the old days (I even wrote the first program that remove borders around icons, because I didn't like them, check Aminet). Now I'm maybe too old to do that kind of things, it's the same as configuring computers, repairing them, same for the OS, I'm kind of lazy today, it doesn't interest me anymore. I just expect things to work well. Even a friend of mine tried the Amiga recently using a Raspberry PI and he didn't remember how to use one and was surprised that the UI didn't evolved since 3.1. (again first contact). One thing also that make me hold back buying Morphos and I can't explain it, is the fact that AmigaOS 4 is an evolution of the "real" Amiga OS. It's kind of important to me that code and design from Mike Sinz, RJ Mical, Andy Finkel, Dale Luck, Randell Jesup etc is present there because they were our gods.  You tend to minimize the importance of the first impression.   One more thing, developers are vital and good documentation is the first step, wiki.amigaos.net seems to be the way to go, it seems that http://library.morphzone.info/Main_Page is not as complete but I might be wrong.

sure but to be fair, let's not forget those so called 'tests' were only using one core of the X1000.

As OS4 can only use.

That argument makes no sense, it's like saying "MorphOS benchmark isn't accurate as it only used one core of a 2.7GHz Dual Processor G5".

Both OS's are single core so of course any test will only use one core.

A dual CPU G4 PowerMac would still beat the dual core X1000 on a multi threaded Linux benchmark.

I'm no fan of Gates nor some of the practices of his foundation but let's compare him to Jobs.

One of the first things he did when returning to Apple was to cancel all charitable contributions permanently. Even when sitting on the largest cash reserves that any company has had in history.

Classy guy and about as far from the teachings of Buddha (Who he claimed to be a follower of) as one could be.

Whoever wrote that is missing the point. The only way to change what a company does is to buy stock in it. Plus when you buy stocks on the open market the money doesn't go to the company.
 
It's sloppy journalism.
 

 
He became Buddhist for the girls, they love religion.

That explains why more women convert to Islam than men then.

This post was reported as inaccurate. Cite sources please or it's just hearsay.

in 1997, when Mr. Jobs returned to Apple, he closed the company’s philanthropic programs. At the time, he said he wanted to restore the company’s profitability. Despite the company’s $14 billion in profits last year and its $76 billion cash pile today, the giving programs have never been reinstated.
