Okay, so now everyone has got his/her very own opinion about all the mess occuring in the Amiga community nowadays (AmigaOS4 vs MorphOS1, AmigaInc/Eyetech/Hyperion vs Thendic/bplan, Bernie vs Harald/H&P, hackers/users/developers/dealers vs Elbox... urgh... who'll be the next??). Every fscking single day there's a new reason that tend to split us all, in a sort of all-against-all war ("I'm on a mission/I made my decision/To lead a path of self destruction" just like the Green Day sung... why can't everyone sit down, relax, bury the hatchet and try to be more constructive, d'oh).
But what if I don't wanna join the rat race? Yeh, I'm very happy with my good ol' hw (Blizz/Cyber+PPC/Vision) and I only wanna update my sw. So, when/where will I be able to buy the new AmigaOS and/or MorphOS and how much will they cost?
When will an official list of features be made available and definitive so that I can choose which one fits my needs the most?

Good old times, where are thou? : Comment 10 of 52 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 05-Dec-2002 18:20 GMT | OS4 doesn't have a final feature list (don't repost that list of buzzwords with PPC in front of them, what a waste of space) because it has yet to boot. In a few months when the real OS comes up (rather than some monitor program stuck together with duct tape) they can start figuring out what will actually be possible. Today they can't give a useful answer to any of the following questions:
Which 68K apps will / won't run?
Which existing PPC apps will / won't run?
What APIs will be present in addition to OS 3.9?
What utilities are present as standard (e.g. scripting language - maybe Python? maybe some form of Rexx? maybe? no-one knows) |
