I am experimenting with scalos lately and i think that it will become my standard MOS desktop. It`s far from been perfect: It doesn`t allow multiple menu items selection, it keeps messing up my pallete (don`t know why), the about requester produces hits, etc.
BUT, Imho, it`s must better that the last official version of Ambient:
Much more Workbench-like!
Much more functional! (see previous comment )
It feels faster and consumes less memory.
It supports progressive icon display
>> text window mode (like the latest unofficial Ambient)
More configurable.

Having said all these, i haven`t tried the latest Ambient. My biggest hesitation is that it requires MUI 4.0 and i`ve heard many times that it`s a lot slower than 3.9 . How true is this? (Keep in mind that my gfx card is a BVision)
