[News] AmigaOS 4.0 PPC will come !!! ANN.lu Posted on 01-Apr-2001 06:43 GMT by Christophe Decanini 29 comments View flat View list From the shoucast audio stream (right now) AmigaDE won't have MP soon. AmigaOS 4.0 will and AmigaDE will use it. 68K will run on emulation. TCPIP PPC native, video drivers Natice: All the system PPC native. It will be developed by haage & partner and Hyperion. Amigaone will be opendesign (drivers). The timeline is by summer time. You need Amigaone for AmigaOS 4.0. USB and firewire will be in AmigaOS 4.2. No Java in AmigaOS 4.0. AmigaOne will ship this summer. First versions won't surpport multiprocessor. AmigaDE Targeted late summer. This is what I understood. There can be some misunderstandings. The are a lot of questions left. The MP subject is not clear, there will be a gradual transition (4, 4.2 ... 5.0). More info will be available on the Amiga website soon. So 1rst AmigaOS 3.9 will benefits from the AmigaOne hardware, then AmigaOS 4.0 will run stand alone on the AmigaOne and then Amiga De will run on top of it.

Amigans who own top-notch x86 systems and was waiting for a good fast and simple OS to come along (AmigaDE). Now they will have to buy AmigaOne PPC computer to be able to run the new OS. Count me out because by the time OS4.0 ships x86 will have broken the 2Ghz (if not 3) barrier and PPC will be stuck at sub 1Ghz. Not to mention if they had based it on x86 we could have gotten WINE onto it and that could have helped them to convert a lot of windows-only users. PPCdead end because they will never overcome x86 in speed and popularity no matter how nice the underlying technology is. I don't like intel or x86, i hate them. But if i have to choose between a PPC 850Mhz and a AMD T-bird 1.5GHz i know what i would choose.
