    Like everybody I really want to see this OS continue by transferring to a new CPU, but I am also keen to see the graphics card side of things develop, something which hopefully can be used both on PPC MorphOS and any future MorphOS on another CPU.

    I know that the MorphOS team will state that not enough users have PCIe machines and therefore access to newer graphics cards, but the Sam460, X5000 and late G5 MacPro do provide access to these. At the moment the only advantage that AmigaOS4 has over MorphOS is its graphics drivers and even then they cost extra (something which I am not opposed to on MorphOS by the way).

    Just think if MorphOS could make the first move to more modern graphics and then subsequently the mover to a new CPU, it would be the clear leader in Amiga NG operating systems.

    More modern graphics and newer CPU should (and I'm no developer) make porting modern applications from Linux much more of a possibility, surely.
