    >A MAJOR IT COMPANY HAS AGREED TO RESELL MorphOS!

    Today, MorphOS can only be purchased with a Pegasos Computer: what do you mean by "Resell MorphOS" ?
    Will this company resell MorphOS with its own PPC products (if so, what products ?) ? As the only OS or with other OS as well ? (would be better if MorphOS was the only OS...)

    Now if I was showing MorphOS to people who don't know the Amiga, I wouldn't show V or Papyrus as they have probably seen far better software on Windows or Linux... But some of the specific features of MorphOS:

    .Multiple screens and how fast you can switch between them,... (different resolutions,...)

    .MUI: and how you can have a specific look for any app (and even a different one for different sessions of the same app): just click on the menu->mui settings icon, change something, use/save and here we are !

    .USB: you run Mame without a pad plugged... *without* leaving mame, you insert the pad and it works instantly. No need to relaunch the app...

    .Plug'n'play video cards ;) First run the Pegasos with a Voodoo... Then power off it, insert a Radeon and... magic, it works ;) no need to install anything or go through XFree86Config... (Showing that the right 3D driver is also automaticaly selected/used would be a plus...)

    .Show localisation system and how it is integrated into the OS (almost every big app makes use of it)

    .Show how you can make use of ARexx to communicate between applications

    .A nice Madwizards Demo ;)

    .You could also show how easy it is to make a bootable CD: burn your sys: partition and here we are ! ;)

    .And to forget to explain that all fits in around 30Mo ! ;)

    .... There are so many things to show: why get stuck with V and Papyrus ?!

    NOTE: if you're planning to show MorphOS through PearPC (or maybe make a special distribution for PearPC ?), you can forget a lot of things which would be impossible or too slow (3D, ...)

    Leo.
    Nothing hurts a project more than developers not taking the time to let their community know what is going on.
