Amiga, especially ng amiga will always be a small niche. Sometimes thats cool though, because I kind of like it when even linux nerds come to my house and marvel at my aros machine...
I think OS4's chances of doing anything keep getting smaller and smaller.
I'm hoping to get a morphos mac from santa claus, we'll see. In the meantime I get more and more excited by aros...
1) UAE integration 2) Catweasel support 3) Draggable screens...
4) Supports my 3.0GHZ intel processor pc - ITS VERY FAST.
To me, Aros is just the logical way to go because it supports amiga floppies, all old games and amiga apps (for the most part) run...
MorphOS from what I have seen is more advanced. You can browse better, watch youtube. I'm hopeful AROS browser will catch up fast.
AOS4 is a dead end to me, I'm not paying 800$ for a computer with speeds from 10 years ago, no matter how much I like the os, or the name amiga. What is an amiga? To me its a computer that works like the old amiga, but allows for modern things, thats it. I don't care much for the name arguments, so long as it works how I remember and runs everything, I'm happy. AROS is probably the best path forward in my view, because it can't be killed by a few people controlling it....
