Main reason I don't use MorphOS much is because it needs dedicated hardware. And the reason I will never buy MorphOS is because a registered copy is locked to that hardware.Thanks to UAE, these silly artificial limitation are not there for old AmigaOS, and also not for AROS, so those are what I use most. And soon maybe OS4.1. I understand MorphOS developers, they just want an OS for themselves and do not really care about the user base, by registering you basically paying to be allowed to be an annoying user :)
AmigaOS 4 needs it too. NEVER is a strong word, especially since you do have account here, so you must have some interest in MorphOS.
1 license per computer isn`t that strong serious limit IF ONE license can be transferred to another user/same users another machine. So mechanism can be developed.
What I find surprising is that so many users are against virtualization. Its not about trend but ability to test, run software, develop even if main hardware isn`t present.
Also, its about selling software legally, and since MorphOS is kind of hardware vendor independent, that should be interest (e.g. as much as WinUAE emulation can boost AOS 4 sales, it could MorphOS ones. Not significantly that it becomes dominant, but relatively to company it can be interesting source of income).
Is it only fear of piracy or "old school" ties to real, visible, "feely" hardware
