Just out of PURE curiosity..
.. how much would you pay for MorphOS? I mean, for your first update, and then subsequent updates? I tentatively start the bidding at $30 for a full release scaling to $20 per major update (from previous version only) with free incrementals?
.. in the above scheme, 1.5 would cost $30, 1.6 would cost $20 because you already have 1.5, and 1.5.1 would be freely available as an update. If you skipped 1.4 to 1.7, you'd have to pay $30 for 1.7 (which is cheaper than getting each upgrade as you go along, but would you really want to miss 2 versions? :)
MorphOS definitely needs a "service pack" scheme (some interim developments and fixes.. downloaded and installed in a batch... like a BoingBag but with a name that doesn't sound like a low-grade porn movie prop). Downloading individual files from Zargos is going to go away if I have anything to do with it (and note.. I *DO*)
This isn't fixed or even considered, it's only out of my own crazy brain, I'm guaging opinion..
