Not to attack R. Schmidt and team, but in contrast to AmiVerse it
1. works on "Classic" Amigas only,
2. doesn�t have "native" applications at all AFAIK,
3. doesn�t support WarpOS, and more important, Warp3D,
4. will probably never support anything else but "Classic" Amigas,
5. even more probably will vanish together with the "Classic"s, in
years to come.
IMHO, MorphOS sounds nice to today�s AmigaPPC owners, but
has neither the technological potential, funding, developer / user
support nor publicity to go anywhere. Sorry.
