> PRETENDING to be
Personally, I don't consider MorphOS to be Amiga, it's something else, something better. The fact that it is more Amiga compatible than OS4 (it happily runs a great deal of Amiga software that simply won't even start on OS4, including some Hyperion games) could certainly be considered hillarious, but it doesn't change the fact that MorphOS is MorphOS and nothing else (however the question arises: "Then what is OS4", but let's not go there ;-) ). Some people feel that the Amiga compatibility makes it "Amiga" to them, but I would argue that the Amiga API was only a start, something to build upon, and MorphOS is about *going beyond* Amiga (with the Amiga API as a foundation, the Amiga philosophy as guidelines, and the Amiga applications to get a flying start), and *it's not* about doing it all over again. MorphOS is doing just fine on it's own merits, and it's only starting yet. MorphOS brings all good things from the (now dead) Amiga, it merges that with new things and modern ideas, and the result will be something completely new and very exciting, and *it will not* be "Amiga", it will be *MorphOS*!
:-)
The Amiga is dead, and now we are taking all good things with us to this new platform while leaving the bad things behind!

Oh, but the Amiga^H^H^H^H^H (excuse me ;-) ) *MorphOS* API will of course always be there, in an improved form! :-) |
