MorphOS can run many programs designed for the Amiga.
This screenshot shows MorphOS running a 68k AmigaOS application seamlessly
in a window. Other applications may use the full screen.
The AmigaOS emulation isn't perfect. I tried a few different applications,
and most ran in to problems. SimCity 2000 for Amiga refused to run, reporting
that it could not initialize the music system.
And a couple of games included with MorphOS.
MorphOS includes TCP/IP networking, a web browser, and a graphical
FTP program.
The Oddesy Web Browser is a modern web browser based on WebKit, the
same engine as Konqueror, Safari, and Chrome.
MorphOS has an installer utility, but applications can also be installed
just by copying them in.
Interestingly, MorphOS has a disk defragmenter utility. That is not
something I usually see in smaller OSes. Even some larger OSes leave this
out (and any story about file systems that never get fragmented or scattered
around is simply not true)
Here is an interesting feature. The file replace dialog shows MD5 sums
of the files. Seems like a bit of an overkill, but perhaps MorphOS users
have some specific use for this. Typically simply seeing the modification
date and size is enough.
The MorphOS user interface is VERY configurable. There are a number
of windowing themes you can choose from, and you can change many details
of how windowing and dialog controls work.
You can also add a sliding "panel" bar that can hold custom icon buttons
for applications and documents.
Perhaps is is just buried in all of the other configuration options,
but the clock doesn't even seem to know about normal 12-hour time. Weird.
The trial version of MorphOS shutting YOU down.
