The May 2000 Amiga World introduces the Amiga Foundation Layer, Amiga's Vice President of Operations Vince Pfeifer, and a slew of new games from Amiga developer Hyperion. Normally, I'm not the one to complain about the tool used to generate a web page, but Microsoft Word?...

| May 2000 Amiga World : Comment 8 of 9 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Joe "Floid" Kanowitz on 07-Jun-2000 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 7 (Anonymous):
I've bothered Fleecy in email on the subject, and there really isn't much new to report on the subject except that part of Amiga's goal is to try to wean people off of C and onto more modern platforms, like Java, where protection is performed more logically.
As always, Amiga is willing to listen to us, and I've suggested that optional protection may be the way to go. Turn on protection for certain apps, let others have free reign. If some of what I've heard from the rumor mill is right, the real problem is that Tao's product doesn't offer standard protected mode services yet, and we probably don't want to delay an Amiga product launch any longer, right? If that really is the case, this'd mean that protection would have to be implemented at a higher level than it usually is in most OSes, since you'd basically have to run a whole virtual machine without any low level help from the "processor" (in this case, the VP)... if Tao's stuff really is capable, then it really is a question of what the proletariat wants.
So, if you're with me on the matter, make your voice heard... if you demand nothing but protection for all, make your voice heard, and if you don't think it's going to make or break anything, well.. make your voice heard, too.
Maybe we need an ANN poll? |
