Nicolas Mendoza was kind enough to provide a few snapshots of the different development tools you'll be able to play with when the AmigaOS 4.0 Developer Pre-release CD arrives.

AmigaOS4 Snapshots from SDK : Comment 49 of 57 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Kjetil on 21-Apr-2004 08:35 GMT | In reply to Comment 47 (smp266): The other day, I was just catching up on the latest PC apps. I notice that in 14 years they still have the same box designs. They are totally boring and over-complicated. You still have to read through 300 pages to find out how to do the most basic things (properly.)
It typical that newbe¡¦s read 300 of pages when they should have only read 100 pages, book and pdf¡¦s are normal indexed category, and keywords inn the back of the book.
People are afraid of buying a potential $1000 doorstop. That at leasts tells you that long-term support and value for money are the key hurdles.
Well maybe then again AmigaOS4.0/AmigaOne is not about targeting new users, the main goal is to clean up the exec, and modern features an migrate from no longer produced 68k, improve and add new standards, get developer back to the platform,
And then the next versions of AmigaOS after OS4.0 can stand ready whit new ppc native software, Workbench4.2 etc, ready for common Joe, AmigaOne G5 64bit 3Ghz and up.
The computer world is maturing. Hardware is pushing the limits of current technology. It's the time again for software to make the difference.
Software pushes the limits of the hardware, and you get nasty upgrade cycles, than again it¡¦s true that you can do things whit new software that you can do whit old, AmigaOS4.0 being an example ƒº
Look at MS office: Fewer people are buying the latest upgrade because the previous editions do everything they need.
This is true, then maybe MS is on it way down, as one of the leading software enterprises, or at least the MS staff is, bring possibilities for newcomers.
I would imagine that people would upgrade because they can get things done faster and/or easier.
Or maybe because software that uses computers restores are to demanding for there computer, then they upgrade there software because the computer crashes all the time, being cheep Intel/AMD spec computers whit none expensive / shit VIA chipset, pushed to it¡¦s over limit by hard competition. |
