MorphOS 2.0 Released

@gaula92: As long as the court case is going on and Amiga Inc. is involved in any ways, such a petition would pretty much be a waste of energy.

what runs on it?

This is kind of the point! While this is really good news and well done to the MOS team for getting this together, it looks raelly good... but €150... for that money you do want to actually use it for something...

People on here talk about small dev teams and small volume sold to justify a high price... but, it's hard to accept when it is essentially just a luxuary item, not something that one actually needs!

The time-out is 30 min. It's enough to get a good impression. Since the rebbot time is quite fast it is okay to get first impressions of the system and play a bit around. But still it is annoying enough to make you either register soon, or give up.
Btw.: It works cool on my Efika.

wow, there are alot of whiners in this thread.   I'm ordering my EFIKA later this week so we'll see how it goes.  

I agree w/whoever posted and said that people spend much more on a CSPPC when the EFIKA runs circles around it.

I bet if a version for the MacMINI comes out and is priced at $250 US, we'll have MacMINI users balking and not wanting to buy MorphOS for that system either.


Anyway, more importantly...

EFIKA users, have you tried any intense apps?  Movie players etc?  How did the EFIKA hold up?  How much memory does it use/leave free?

@Colani1200: Morphos is possible on the Mini: the lawsuit only concerns AMIGA OS4 (wich Ainc can put into their assholes, in my opinion, if we get Morphos intead...)

I appreciate the work that the MOS team has done.  I'm know it must have been for all who were working on this OS both a pleasure and a pain.  But, though all the doubts and pressure to produce something, they did it on their own time table and that is to be respected.  As for price, we are not talking about an Apple, Microsoft, or even a Linux distro, but an OS that targets a smaller special sector of computer users.  Spend the money on it if you support the OS and the folks that took the time to work on it, plain and simple.

Are there any good side-by-side comparisons available which show the differences between MorphOS and AmigaOS4, including hardware and software compatibility?  Aside from AROS, are there any other AmigaOS-a-likes which merit investigation?

I'm seriously wanting to move into the PPC Amiga world.  But with a dead CSPPC, it looks like my best chances are MorphOS on some new hardware than AmigaOS4 on a repaired CSPPC in a 16 yo A4000D.

You can order an EFIKA for $99 from Directron.com and get the MorphOS 2.0 ISO.

I completely agree.

Hehe, perhaps this thread could do with some  passive agressive moderation: Move all whining posts into a seperate thread called "We who don´t appreciate the devs that are left" or something like "we who´d like our lunch for free".

Now, that was me a bit over the line and then some with my trolling. Awaiting the appropriate reponse flame  :lol:

@DyLucke

Yet people assasinate their pockets, kill the dog, pawn the wife, and send the kids off to usbekistan for a CPPC.

And just look at the size of the efika, pc mobo makes have tried making such small cards too, i saw an amd based card with 900 mhz and 256 megs of ram which costs 5 times what the efika does.

FYI, the sam440 did 699 bogo mips.

How so?

[EDIT]: Nevermind, I found the download links for the time-limited ISO. :-D

[TheMagicM]

Great news!

@Amigakit

Do you propose selling an Efika / Morph 2.0 bundle for example with Morph 2.0 pre installed on a hard drive ?

[arkanoid]

Just want to say my congratulations! I'll be purchasing my copy asap

Thanks Zylesea.

Only 30 mins?  I was expecting a week at least in order to test some software properly.  Hell, if I installed it and then my wife phoned me then that could be the end of my demo!  :-D

Ah well, I'm going to buy it anyway so no big deal.
