Darn tooting! The best performing AmigaOS descendant is poised to take over! Try it, there's a reason we MorphOS users are so fanatical. It's a good product.
Once Powerbook and Powermac support is introduced, we'll have laptops, towers, and compact micro computers all running an OS that will run system friendly legacy aps and numerous PPC specific aps.
The hardware is cheaper than what is required to run AmigaOS4 and MorphOS is faster than AmigaOS.

Let's face it, Amiga Inc. appears to have disappeared and their claim to the Amiga intellectual property was pretty threadbare. Who cares whether or not someone gets to call there software AmigaOS? How well does your OS work?

Although MorphOS is already available on various platforms.. it didn't state "new" in announcement But I guess it's possible what you guessed too.

Well, its not the first time and will not be the last time. Actually its the third Meeting in Germany where members of the MorphOS Team appeared. I am sure there were other meetings in other countries. On most of those meetings there were at least two team members which could be asked and talked to in person.

This of course is so far the biggest amount of MorphOS team members you could see at one place for quite some time.

For security purposes they aren't allowed to have all members of the MorphOS team in the same room, at the same time.

Well actually most of them could be there, but at least one member, on a rotating basis, must stay away - the so called 'doomsday' provision.

Eh...everybody all at once now: what? I don't get it.

my bad, nothing to see here, carry on.

More pics!

Anyone can give feedback if it will run on any Powerbook or that specific 1.67GHz model?

As seen in the video, development versions of MorphOS support multi-touch gestures. Tap with two fingers to right-click, multi-finger scrolling, etc.

Thanks Andre,
That's the best piece of video I've seen from Essen yet. The development version of MorphOS looks remarkably advanced.
How come no one's posted a link to this on MorphZone?

Do you have any idea whether the Powermac was running a similar version of the OS (dev. ver. 3.0 etc.) or an offshoot of 2.5?
