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. :\

Sorry to contradict you. But in late 2001, when you announced AmigaOS4 to be ready for betatest in February 2002 and for normal users in April 2002, it was already Exec SG (second generation) based. I hate to tell you what you guys told us (you should remember better than me), but here are some references:
Ben Herman's interview dated 7 Nov 2001 (just after you took over development) - "OS 4 will not be WarpOS based"
Amiga 2001 Cologne show report mid November 2001, when you made that time exstimations - Picasso 96 PPC based was a feature of AOS4 since the beginning, and actually arrived a couple of weeks ago... JIT is still in the process of being integrated. And is the new Warp3D (later referred as Nova) still a white paper?
First AOS4 status report 27 Nov 2001: Exec SG is mentioned and partially described, so you knew about it... and we knew, too. And there were already mentions of the JIT emulator as if it was ready...
Oh, and the feature list became soon very similar to the final one, altough you had to admit (21st Jan 2002) that "the original February release-date might slip somewhat"...
All in all, I believe you knew the truth since the beginning and you purposedly lied (and also your quoted statement I am replying to is a lie) to the customers in order to keep the project viable. In fact, if you said right from the beginning that it would have taken two and a half year to get a Pre-Release out, I think Peg+MOS would have been more successfull, and might have killed any effort for AOS4. OK, I also believe that's how businness works, so I'm not saying you did something wrong.
My hope would have been to see a good game company making titles for a good existing OS since then (2001). I think this would have made things better, in the market and in the community. Pity there was too much pride involved...
Kind regards,
Andrea |
