"It is with considerable satisfaction that Hyperion Entertainment can now announce the immediate availability for download of the first Amiga OS 4.0 Developer Pre-release update for registered Amiga OS 4.0 users."

In reply to Comment 81 (Kjetil):
It would be nice to see a decent review of the update, and how it has improved (and by how much, not just 'it is faster'!) over the previous version, including common software compatibility fixes, etc. Screenshots of new features as well.

Anyone up for this? Olegil? *runs* :)
