If you compare classic CBM AMIGA hobby to oldtimers then you can compare your MorphOS 2 hobby to Hot Rods. Certainly you can't get that as cheap as a Toyota or something which is produced in high numbers (aka Mac OS X, Windows 7, etc.). And a Hot Rod might be less safe and might have less comfort than a Toyota, too.

If you don't think MorphOS 2 is worth 150 EUR then don't buy it. Simple! Nobody is forcing you. Not everyone can afford a Hot Rod either.


But as said so many times before: if you could afford expensive hardware why can't you afford mere 150 EUR for the software to make use of your expensive hardware? In times where one can download everything for the big operating systems for "free" (aka illegal) from the internet many people seem to lost a proper perspective on the worth of software.

Unlike for some other operating systems the MorphOS 2 price is a one-time price including free updates.

While e.g. Snow Leopard was noticeable cheaper; in the end it might cost you a lot more because you have to pay expensive updates for various applications which just stop to work properly on the new OS version; very likely you will have to spend a lot more money than 150 EUR.

The illegal availability of a certain other OS on various sites also proves that it was the right decision to lock the MorphOS 2 registrations to the hardware. Also most of the MorphOS users have multiple machines; the amount of registration would probably 50% smaller if one registration would work for all machines. It's not like people would pay for something if they don't have to. :)

Just my very personal opinion.
