Screenshots of Morphos/Ambient : Comment 65 of 117 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 15-Sep-2002 10:54 GMT | In reply to Comment 64 (Rob): The AmigaOS roadmap isn't impressive because they aren't doing what it says on the roadmap. If I have the choice between a blank sheet of paper, and a map which says among other things that New York and California are land locked states in the center of the USA, I'd take the blank sheet.
OS 4.0 was supposed to be out last summer, OS 4.2 is supposed to have AmigaDE and run on any Zico compliant device (but Ben Hermans says the endian problem makes this too hard to be worth doing). OS 4.5 was supposed to be out this summer, and was to include FireWire, lots of SCSI drivers, accelerated 3D for the latest Matrox cards, as well as the features of OS 4.2.
OS 5.0 is a Fleecy fantasy. Despite it being due this Christmas, Ben Hermans has very sensibly denied any interest in making Fleecy's wild ideas into an operating system, and Amiga Inc. have already proved that they simply don't have the talent to make it happen themselves.
Now, frankly I don't believe MorphOS will deliver very much either, but I wouldn't change my mind about that just because they get someone to scribble down a list of ideas for the future and call it a "roadmap". |
