a few things
1 i don't think MorphOS should ever run on mac hardware. as much as i would love to run MOrphOS on my ibook i think it would cause a great decrease in Pegasos sales and hurt Genesi very bad.
2 i don't think MorphOS os should have mozilla. i know that sounds crazy but here is why, we have ibrowser and voyager and we are the only platform (besides the Amiga's) that have those we are unique. so insted of implementing somehting linux has and windows and every other operating system we should focus on making Ibrowser and Voyager better insted of fucusing on a whole other thing.
3 i think that Genesi is one of the best companies regarding stratagy on selling a product and making friends in teh developer field and really making a quality project.
well thats all i have for now on my mind i will post more when i think of it.

I Heartily agree... Genesi has put a considerable amount of energy into getting software developers for Mos, These should be supported. Also Pegasos is the companies main source of Income, why would They want to lose this?

Having payed for Voyager and Ibrowse just a few Years ago, I would like to see them become more successful on amiga and Mos. Porting Mozilla would be alright to some, but I use Mozilla now, it is large, clunky and the opposite of What Quark/Morphos are about... speed, efficiancy, etc...

1.) AFAIK Genesi doesn't plan to release a laptop so a iBook/PowerBook-only version would not cause harm to Genesi and would increase sales and the user base.

2.) I don't understand that. If you like Voyager use Voyager. If someone NEEDS Mozilla because not every web is displayed correctly/requires java or something similar he should have FREEDOM to CHOOSE the browser he wants. Linux is slower than MorphOS too but you can run it on Pegasos can't you? Sorry but your argument doesn't sound interesting IMHO. Having things like Mozilla or OpenOffice would help a lot the platform. Yes, I wouldn't mind to have tools like Dreamweaver or Flash ported to MorphOS (and of course, a webbrowser capable of showing me 99% pages I want, that allows me to do bank transfers in the web page of my bank etc... that needs JAVA and other things that no Amiga browser has. Yeah I know that it wouldn't run as fast as a native program, but it doesn't matter because Pegasos is quite fast anyway... we aren't using a 68k Amiga. I don't mean that we should forget small and efficient code, but having ports would cause that Voyager's author improves it more to be able to compete with Mozilla. And don't forget that we are on MorphOS. Even ports run faster than in the OS they were designed to run on...

3.) Yeah, they are doing it really well, it's a pity that Visual Corp didn't acquire Amiga Inc when Escom went broke. I'm sure Bill and Raquel would have saved us a lot of time waiting. ;-D

1. Disagree. I'd love to see it running on my Dual G5 2 GByte RAM Mac . And sure on an iBook/PowerBook. I can still remember that it was stated MorphOS would run on any PPC hardware for which they could get docs. And now it should be restricted to Pegasos? That's what AInc was crucified for (AOS only on LinuxOne). If they have reasons not to for they're lacking some docs then so be it. But keeping people from having options is always bad IMHO.

This would be a good way of having MorphOS running on powerful PPC hardware. To be honest, I wouldn't see any sense in purchasing a Dual G5 Pegasos - which programs are there that would make use of this hardware?

But AFAIK their plans for MorphOS on Mac hardware are very different. I haven't fully understood this yet. On the one hand I hear it's just to launch MorphOS apps from within MacOS. On the other hand I hear it's running stand-alone and not "hosted on MacOS" which seems like a contradiction to me ... we'll see.

2. Same thing, why artificially restricting the number of user's option? See, on my Mac I got Safari preinstalled which some people may find much better than IBrowse or AWeb for it can do Java and CSS and gets most Javascript right and all that stuff. I regularly despair here with Safari, switch off my Mac and boot my Pegasos for extended web surfing - because IBrowse is light-years ahead of Safari and Internet Exploiter when it comes to user friendliness (tabs, URL prefs) which is something I don't want to do without. I have Java disabled all the time anyway, so why should I need a browser supporting it?

3. 100% agree.
