Problem with threads like this is that lot of different topics are mixed together.....

- Could the MorphOS-team build a "good" modern OS ?
A clear yes.

- Is the MorphOS-team motivated enough to pull it of (in a timely fashion)?
Just check how long ago it was that Fab made that presentation at Alchemi....

- Would such an OS still be MorphOS in the sense of being Amiga related?
In a lot of ways that sounds like squaring a circle .... mmm, or is it boxing a ball


In order to attract new users/developers to such an OS it would need to be compatible enough to mainstream *nix to make porting apps feasible, while still being different enough to attract specific apps to be written (OSX sits in that sweet spot).

There is ofcourse no point in advocating that OS right now when might still be years in the future (if it ever gets done) and there is even less point in trying to make current MorphOS look like something that it just isn't.
