    I don't quite understand your statement quoted above, as I believe the opposite. I think that due to the small size of the MorphOS Dev. Team, it will take an extended time for the MorphOS Dev. Team to support the latest x86/x64 hardware, compared to the other mainstream OSes, and we will always be using hardware that is some months, or perhaps even years behind the latest and greatest, just released hardware that has Windows, or MacOSX support and to a slightly lesser degree, hardware supported by Linux and other niche x86/x64 OSes that are already established.

    Perhaps I am misunderstanding what you are meaning, or trying to write?


    I assumed he was trying to say that component development time (and hence lifecycle) is short, not MorphOS driver development time - consequently there is not much time available for MorphOS development team to write drivers for newer chipsets.
