july 15th is my bday:)

The 15th is just 2 weeks away. Why does everything have to be 2 weeks?
Oh, but for sure thanks for the release, been waiting since 2004 for this day.

Happy pre-birthday saddam

Yes, it is really not cheap, I expected that for this price we got so;ething mor than a poor burned CD with MorphOS 2.0 written on it with my pen...
By the way if I can have a real packaging for 150euro I prefer to wait

But thanks to the MOS Team for this long awaited release !

@nitro: thx:)

Q: what i like best ?
A: It's availability !

Congratulations on the release, i still can't believe it

Downloaded and running on my peg 2 :)

Now trying to remember how to set up a decent screen mode, been so long since i fought with these i cant even get 1024x768

How do these keys work will i need one for both my machines (i also have an efika)?

Gaz

For MorphOS 2 and the Devs . . .


150 euros . . . .

YAY

Thanks MORPHOS crew. And if you euro guys think $115 euro is pricey, try converting to us dollars! Cost more than Vista!

Downloading now...

Just one difference ... I wouldnt pay for Vista (if I have the choice) ;)

...Well they Fooled Me...

I didn't think we would see the actual ISO before the end of Summer.
I'm sure glad I was wrong!! Haven't tried it yet... but as soon as I
do will be too long

this is the best April Fools Joke I've ever been apart of!!
Thank You Morphos Team and Good luck!!

111.11 Euro's isn't too much to me... its an exceptable price
Point when you are thinking commercially and wish to generate
exceptable revenue!!!

I'm not going to write any appreciation for MOS Devel. Instead, after I get my EFIKA and check out MOS, they will get appreciation via Paypal. :)

Same here in Finland. Vista is less than a hundred euros, 76 euros to be exact.

150? is about three times more than I can pay so my only option is to sell the Pegasos2 after the trial is over

Same here in Russia. Vista costs less than 100eur. 150 eur is a VERY high price. Some of us can allow themselves to spend that amount of money, but some are not.

Sorry to hear that, pal! 8(

Well, just compare the user base of PC users and Pegasos users. How many orders of magnitudes difference? And as usually, nobody is forced to buy anything. It's just an offer.

PS: None of the MOS Team Developers will get rich from it, no matter how high or low the price is.

platon42

Yes, you are right. And its a large team in a whole so they money gets spread out thin i'm sure... I was being funny, it was more about crying about EURO V US DOLLAR than MOS price.

I burned the CD and will be going for install tonight! :Dancingbanana:

MorphOS 2.0 is worth every Euro they charge for it.

Quote:

If the idea is not to get rich, why the price is so high then and the price is per box, but not per user?
PS: The MOS-team had abandoned users themself. Little people want to wait 4 years for another "2 more weeks".
PS2: I've been writing about this already.

The price is reasonable for an operating system.

Remember that this is a full "retail" version. The price
point is in direct competition with Mac OS X.

Windows retails cost 2-3 times more than this!

It's just the bundled OEM's which are cheap, and may not
be sold without hardware..

Quote:

Small misunderstanding. I am not critizising the price at all. I just told this pricerange is out of my reach due to car-payments.

Looks like I'll have to cut out a few nights at the saloon!!! I was getting bored with computer stuff in general so I'm glad this is finally out. At least some people actually produce something besides vapor....

@QMaster

Code:

I totally agree with you.

Why not a discount if you buy various licenses? It wouldn't hurt the MOS-Team...

Since it doesn't come with a proper box I expected a lower price (around 75Euros) for users who didn't bought the CD/USB version.

I'm very happy that, after years of furstration and endless waiting, MorphOS 2.0 finally came out to the light.
Congratulations both to the MorphOS team, for this polished piece of work, but congratulations go also to everyone here, for being so patient and confident. I hope the wait is worth all this suffering. But now, we have a lot of work!
The debate about its price is legitimate. I'm set to buy it, but not immediately.
