| OS3.9 full details : Comment 3 of 13 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Paul McCord on 05-Dec-2000 23:00 GMT | Yep, I like it too.... Looks much better than the bog standard WB3.0 that I've been using for the past six years. Now that I have got some 3.1 ROMs on the way and a GFX card then I can look forward to ordering OS3.9 sometime soon.
However, I seem to remember that when OS3.5 was released everyone asked about whether 3.5ROMs would be available too. Amiga (under Gateway) responded by stating that it depended on sales of OS3.5, but any follow up was likely to offer new ROMs as well. It seems strange that there is an OS3.9 but no ROMs as promised, BUT I can imagine that the tooling and manufacturing costs for new ROM chips would be excessive, considering the actual cost of buying the software (how about comparing this with Windows ME???), and that development has been taken over by H & P.
With the prospect of an OS4.0 for the Classic Amiga at sometime soon then how about some new ROM releases, if only to fix some of the main criticisms of the current operating system - the awful standard GUI, the lack of a decent Task Manager and numerous SMALL things (when compared to an MS release). How about Amiga putting out a request for a wish list? |
