    still funny to read some old articles from today's perspective.

    This initial beta of MorphOS is a fantastic
    achievement, it is remarkably stable
    and the 68k emulation shows a good
    turn of speed. At the moment it is very
    hard to say how successful it will be In
    the future, if MorphOS were ported to
    modern PPC hardware I can see many
    Amiga users, myself included, being
    very tempted by the thought of a fast,
    cheaply upgradeable machine running
    the software we love. However at the
    moment there is a distinct lack of such
    machines on the market. With IBM’s
    POP (PowerPC Open Platform) boxes in
    an almost BoXeR like state of “just a few
    weeks away” for the last six months
    Apple is the only company shipping PPC
    hardware in volume. Unfortunately
    Apple are known to very cagey over the
    specs of their systems so MorphOS on a
    G4 Mac may not be possible without
    extensive hacking. The other avenue is
    the proposed PPC only accelerators for
    current Amigas but with Amijoe not expected
    until early 2001 will a big enough
    market still exist?


    but yeah, even if they were quite indulgent on MorphOS/Pegasos with quite positive reviews they still used to end their articles with something like "MorphOS is cool but AmigaOS 4 WILL surely be better"
