I like that term, "dreamy fantasy." I may have to borrow it sometime.
Fact: MorphOS has a lot of really cool features and upgrades when moving up from AmigaOS 3.x.
Fantasy: MorphOS is a perfect OS and is completely ready for every instance of every task.
The fact of the matter is that MorphOS inherited (so to speak) certain drawbacks of AmigaOS, but since it was "rewritten" it was also missing some things here and there. All in all, MorphOS is really a great thing, but as with all things there is room for improvement. Time marches on, and a development group cannot just keep working behind closed doors releasing nothing "until it's finished." Or, do you want another BoXeR?
(edit) Gack! I didn't realize how that sounded! This was referring to having a prior MorphOS 1.3 release that was missing some basics. I was not referring to Hyperion!(/edit)
