Sorry to say that, but the future of amiga lies in the Vampire and FPGA not MorphOS or OS4. It'll be the new NextGen. The sales numbers are speaking for themselves.
I agree with everything but that one line. The original Workbench (3.x and older), blows. Its not an OS that is usable on the web with whatever apps we currently have. Vampire is basically a system that can replace our current aging Amiga's with something that can take over via emulation. I still think there is a place for MorphOS, the other one, I'm not sure. I still think the Vampire is a glorified UAE on real hardware. Will I buy it? Heck yea, why not, but realistically, to replace real hardware and emulate 68k systems. I'll sell what I have on ebay for max $$$$
I dont know where MorphOS goes from here to the future. PPC is cool, it did what we wanted and got us from old Amiga hardware to something newer and much more powerful. Theres a next step somewhere, maybe x86, who knows. What will happen to MorphOS? Will it go the way of Haiku and just be a novelty? Will current devs be interested 10-15 years from now or will it end up having a "final" version and remain closed source for the rest of its life?
