Just in case you didn't noticed:: 'Crisot' (the same guy who released the 'pegasos in the toilet' video some time ago, about we laught a lot) released a video which shows current status of OS4 (please check the previous posting here on ann.lu). I have watched this video now again and again and it's normal to come to the conclusion that it's faked. No, not the content, but the speed. The framerate is not correct/realtime, it was made faster. You can spot this easily by watching the mouse movements of the user for example.
Is OS4 so bad that's required to release a video which is 'faked' in such way? I don't think so. And yes, I agree that the Prerelease isn't "the fast thing" i expected to get for my A1.
It makes me a little bit sick how some users are operate to spread 'propaganda'. Isn't it bad enough already that OS4 is so much behind the competition in same market. Now MorphOS users laugh at me for beeing a loyal amiga user. :-\ I'm already happy with the Prerelease, but I hope thing will become a lot faster, but such video is useless.
This is a request to all: please keep such stuff out of this community. When you release a video then release a video which shows true facts. It's from absolutly no use to 'lie' by publishing false information. In the end the normal user is the only stupid.
Crisot, release a proper version of your video to stop this! Thanks.
@kemp:
Sorry for posting over anonymizer, but i have reasons to keep my IP/ identity secret for now. Thanks for your understanding. But I feelt it is required to bring this to public discussion. :\

Posted by sutro on 12-Jul-2004 10:03 GMT | Regarding the video, I still find it hard to believe that the speed is real, at least from what I see in my lame PeeCee at work. My reflexes are not bad and I certainly know rather well my current Workbench environment after using and configuring it for more than 10 years. Crisot's mouse movement and decision making are too good to be true (even if choices were random), especially since observing that icons and windows are not that well organised. Looks like (s)he is Matrix's Neo.
Nevertheless, even if the fps were boosted (intentionally or not), the estimated responsiveness and speed after normalisation would be still satisfactory for me. Fake or not, DMA or not, I don't pay that much attention to unofficial videos and posts these days. I am an Amiga user for too long; I can easily acknowledge that AmigaOS speed and PPC performance were never issues for common tasks. What we really need is applications. Development support, richer, well-documented and more versatile APIs are desperately needed. Amiga Inc. realised that 5 years ago and AmigaDE was in fact an interesting idea but they failed to deliver. Now, we are at the sad postion that the hardware must be sold in bunches first (even running linux) if we ever want any future development for the platform. Mini ITX boards and embedded devices seem our only chance if we want an Amiga for more than just retro computing.
The next five years are going to be interesting with M$ expected to lose some ground, Sun once again focusing on "Java Desktop" and the industry preparing for the big convergence where desktop PCs are finally replaced at home by more clever devices and are re-named "Workstations" for those few who want a machine for multimedia creativity or development. I'd love to see the Amiga platform and community playing a better role than just struggling for survival, pointlessly hanging around or trolling around. "Reunion" is the keyword. |
