OSNews reviews MorphOS 2.3, EFIKA
« on: October 09, 2009, 05:51:43 PM »
Following their AmigaOS 4.1 review, OSNews has published a review of MorphOS 2.3

"Not too long ago we published a review of AmigaOS 4.1, which made some readers argue we should take a look at MorphOS as well. However, nobody currently makes any MorphOS compatible hardware, so I had nowhere to go and beg. Luckily, OSNews reader AmigaRobbo generously offered to loan me his EFIKA machine, with MorphOS installed. I took a look at MorphOS, and found a very quick and efficient operating system - which was sadly held back by the limitations of the EFIKA."

Hey Ef,
 
Yeah, I just read it. Too short for my taste but still an interesting read. Can't wait to get my Pegasos II case and set it up to run this baby!
 
Cheers,

I have to agree, it is way too short. But as reviewer says he finds 128MB too limiting for current apps. Maybe we can have MorphOS reviewed on Mac Mini in the future ;-)

When the mac mini version appears, I might have to renege on the sacred oath never to buy a mac.

It's clear the "review" is too short. Nothing interesting for MorphOS users.

I guess the review is not targetted to current MorphOS users...
