Bill McEwen has posted a new Executive Update, where he hints that there might be a strong possibility of an AmigaOS 4.0, if sales of 3.9 are good enough, and announces that there will be more details and announcements at the Amiga World show in Cologne next month.

| New Executive Update : Comment 10 of 64 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Chris on 24-Nov-2000 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 9 (Amifan):
> So what is win98 compared to win95. A lot of bug fixes and some small additions/improvements.
Your point being? Note what you are saying: "lot of bug fixes" "some small additions".
Look at 3.9: "lots of additions" "some small bugfixes. There may well be lots of
bugfixes, but I can't see them anywhere. I *DONT CARE* about the packages
that are bundled with it: it doesn't matter what the hell they put on there, the
chances are I, and quite a lot of people I know, have already bought, downloaded or
written the same packages or their superiors. I am interested in IMPROVEMENTS TO THE
OS not the number of packages they can fit on the CD. And improvements are things
like finally getting real RTG in graphics.library, fixing low level problems in the
OS, fundamental changes to the libraries that should have been done YEARS ago, not
the odd fix for one or two functions.
> You want H&P to list the bugfixes for you??
It'd be a ---ing start! Although I have serious doubts they'd be in the places I'd
want them to be, the places they really *need* to be.
> IomegaTOOLS (not some half usefull aminet tool),
I use CD-Rs, cheaper and more reliable.
> full TCP packet....
MiamiDx. Reg'd. Best TCP/IP stack on the planet.
> SE version of AWEB3.4 ( The fastest amiga web browser)
And still lacking features and hidden behind a GUI that looks like
it was designed by a blind cubist. And this is an SE version, a-mazing.
Next time Windows ships with Explorer-SE or Linux ships with Netscape-SE
I'll be sure to make a note of it... Yes, there's the economic issues and
so on, but ami I really the only person here who finds it rather
disturbing when a commercial Os is shipped wiht a cutdown shareware
browser as a key feature?!
> This temporary list shows on an extract of the new features. A more detailed list
> will be made public soon.
Yes. I'm waiting. I may be surprised. I seriously doubt that though. |
