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 2 of 64 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Chris on 24-Nov-2000 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 1 (Jim Ross): I'd be surprised if they were. A lot of people I know have taken a good,
hard look at the released information on 3.9 and none of them are happy.
Some are going to preorder anyway, but a lot aren't. Without major
improvements to the system libraries, H&P aren't going to get people
really interested: the 3.9 "features" list reads like an AminetCD, and
if 3.5 is anything to go by only the freeware stuff and Genesis will be
the full versions, the rest will be demo or cut-down stuff. Quite frankly
I don't *NEED* AVI players, QT players, new tool launchers and so on.
I've been using them for ages, I've got applications to do more or less
everything I need already (bar the rather deficient capabilities presented
by Amiga browsers, although Netscape 4.7 on LinuxPPC makes up for that)
What I need is a faster version of layers.library, improved RTG-ready
graphics.library, built-in RTA, fixes to the bugs in the OS functions.
What use is a fancy house if the foundations are crumbling (especially
when you have bought, built or downloaded even fancier houses already)? |
