Our all-time favourite Gunne Steen from GGS-Data, Sweden, has taken some screenshots of Ambient/Morphos running on Pegasos. See them here

>All the losers jumped to the MOS camp, all the cool people stayed with Amiga.
The ones staying with Amiga didn't hear the shot.

Hello,
"But as I said OS4.0 was looking extremely promising and lots of things were running with full funcionality so December release could be reality (although some things could go wrong, offcourse)."
What you saw is AmigaOS 3.x (3.9 I guess) with 3.x exec kernel and 3;x components except for Intuition and some other few high level part.
But you know it's not AmigaOS 4. As soon as it's not running ExecSG with all the other OS 4 components in native PPC, it's not OS 4, but just OS 3.x with some 68k compiled future OS 4 components.
Don't be suprised if it'll not be as stable and compatible as you saw it on AmigaOne. As it's not the same hardware some softwares working actually will not work on the AmigaOne.
You know, if you use MorphOS latest public beta on a PPC Amiga with your actual installation of OS 3.x you'll have a really really stable environment at least as stable as running your apps directly on AmigaOS 3.x but you'll have a better speed :)
So if you hope to have the same exact stability and compatibility as you saw at the show, you'll be a lot disappointed when you'll see OS 4 running natively on AmigaOne.
You've been warned ;)
Regards

The MOS team doesn't want the MorphOS features to be disclosed fully before
release.

Let's be real here. Having a skinnable desktop is part of the functionality of the operating system. Screenshots don't demonstrate functionality, they convey look-and-feel. If this is supposed to be representative of the flexibility and visual appeal of the system it sucks. If a lot more could have been done with this it simply should have.
And using compatibility as an excuse for appearance doesn't work either. Workbench is rudimentary and dated. Having the option to switch to a Workbench skin is one thing, but using it as a reference is another story.

That one of the "great" things with Morphos. You can pay 1000$ for something you are too (untrusted? stupid? ...?) to be told about. But at least you get a tshirt :p

Hey, calm down, all of you.
I'm sure Marijan told us what he (?) thinks he saw, now there were
some inaccuracies but there's no reason to jump up and down on him
just because of that. Just point out the errors.
ImageFX runs fine on my Betatester btw. It's about 50% faster than on
the 060/50, and that's without JIT.
As for Ambient (window menu etc) not being ready. Yes, this is true,
and of course this means it's not ready yet, but do you really think
you can judge how much work is left to be done by how much you can
see in the menus? Putting stuff in the menu is hardly the big job..
this is right now a bit of a pain if you use the desktop a lot
(instead of the shell or something like DirOpus) but it doesn't
exactly say a lot about the OS.
I won't comment on release dates etc, that's really not my department,
and I always think some skepticism is healthy, but I really do not see
how one could expect AOS4 to be ready before MorphOS judging by
available information.

Why do you think the screenshots were removed?
The skin you see *is not the finished product*, there are several skins currently being worked on, and they will be part of the finished product...
When we have something official to show, *we* will show it to you .. screenshots made by third-party only portray *their* current *beta* system, nothing else.

Ehm, if you REALLY cared about MorphOS, you would have the channel to learn
about it's features.

They had best get that JIT working soon then. 50% faster is not very
impressive.
Some of us are used to seeing ImageFX running at ten times the speed
of an 060/50.

I dont care about Morphos even remotely (as in potential customer) but offering a "betatester" system publicly (all the while claiming it is available) doesnt fit that dont-tell-anything policy. Oh well, didnt expect any other answer.

I mean claiming a pegasos/morphos system is available to the general customer.

Corpse ... but you are able only to say stupid words. Take the truth up your ass! MorphOs is out and it looks AND RUN miles better than the AmigaVaporOs4.

Anyone with 1000$ to spare can be a betatester without being told what it features upfront. And you think a 50$ club is stupid?

The fact that you can't find the features on the web doesn't mean they are not
available anywhere.... You can find the already implemented features if you
have the connections.
And... for 1000E you get Pegasos + MorphOS, if you don't like the fact that
you don't know MOS' features, use linux, like the AmigaONE beta testers do...
