Ok, now I'm just waiting for another news item when the CD production
partner has actually produced the CD's (rather than having been
"consulted"). Then I guess we'll see a news item when it's been mailed
out to the developers, and one when someone actually received it.

Sorry, but I'm a bit bored with these "OS4 ready, except not"
newsitems. If it's actually true this time then VERY good.

Is there a book about how to release something without
release it, containing a number of never-used-complicated-

Apparently it's not (intended to be) a joke:
http://hyperion-entertainment.com/_amiga/news_040513.html

I still cannot fathom why Eyetech's hardware customers haven't been able to simply download the OS. It HAD "gone gold" on APRIL 16, just as that PR said it had. Hadn't it? If it's true that this version was finished on or before 16/4, "gone gold" as it were, then one is lead to assume that the delay is only due to logistics/CD-pressing, which would be an unnecessary (and I can only imagine how frustrating) delay for those with moderately snappy Internet connections.

I suppose going from "will be sent to the duplication plant on Monday, April 19, 2004" to a "tentatively scheduled" developer pre-release is some sort of progress. Congrats all around, I guess! [jumping_gif_smileys_and_boingballs] With the developer pre-release sorta maybe ready any day now, a beta (per the more common definition of the word) can't be far away. Now just imagine if the final product would be allowed to actually be for sale when that's released...

It is true, and your suggestive manner of writing doesn't change it. Matter of fact is, there where a few matters to clear up concerning the cover print (four color print turned out to be insufficient since the print would look better on white background)

Upload an ISO, email Eyetech's teron customers their ftp passwords. Sit down 2 nights and burn the coupla hundred extra CD-Rs yourselves for ppl with POTS modems/no burners. Gone gold, yah right. Sheesh... Party on.

When you buy a VIA computer you don't buy a WinXP licence so there's no reason why you would have the right to donwload WinXP. However, if you bought your computer with a WinXP licence, it won't come with a Linux CD (!) but with WinXP a CD... BTW, I never saw any other Company DARING to sell a computer with a licence for an OS that will come when it's done... Only Amiga makes it possible !

Could you please stop the childdish complaints. Since most of you consistently try to come up with things to give negative critics about either Amiga Inc, OS4, Hyperion, Eyetech, could you please try to find some real things to point your finger at instead?

If there is a word you don't understand it's not hard to look it up. Actually nowadays, among educated people its a common procedure to look up information you don't know or don't understand, SPECIALLY if you're going to use it as an argument to try to talk down another one's product.

I'm a norwegian citizen and I have read the word tentatively several times. Actually if I company says to me they are going to release something tentatively at a given date, I have much more confident in them rather than on someone promising a given date with 100% certainty. As you may well know there is no such thing as 100% certainty.

I'm sure you're fed up and tired of the waiting, and some of you have even found yourselves alternative OS-es and that's great for you. But you aren't helping anyone, not even other causes for whoever that fits. Just makes you look desperate that the only thing you can come up is a word that you are having a hard time to understand.

Of course the latter is comforting for OS4 customers ;) When people that never liked OS4 only grasp to feeble arguments, you KNOW it must be good ;)

As an attempt of well-doing, the word tentatively is an adverbial of the adjective tentative. Tentative comes from the latin word Tentare which means to try. Something that is tentative is something that you try to do, but which you can not guarantee 100% will happen.

The examples one of you pasted can be explained like this:

"Tentatively, the final exam will cover the same material covered on the previous two midterms plus:"
means "We will try to make the exam in such a way that it covers the same material covered on the previous midterms" or "Basically the exam will cover the same as the previous midterm, but additions or changes may happen "

"in a tentative manner; "we agreed tentatively on a dinner date""
means: "Although we may happen to be occupied at that time we set up a date to have dinner, lets hope it works out" more or less

What piracy issue ??

Due to that super-intelegent licence (smell some sarcasm ?) everybody who has a computer able to run that OS, has allready paid for it. Copying a CD is just as easy as to give away a FTP-password, so the whole piracy-excuse is rather thin.
Giving it away on a FTP does NOT mean you can't send out CDs to those who can't download/burn it.

This "prerelease" has been announced as early as late 2003, so issues like cover-art, could (and should) have been cleared month ago. Taking > 1 month from "going gold" to actually producing the CDs is another joke, either they have choosen the wrong production-company, or they never went gold that early.

I can also rememmber some whinning about the number of posts for small SW-updates on this site (oddly only when those were targeted for a certain OS ;) ), but how many "prerelease ready"-posts did whe have since they annonced it 6 months ago ?

Stop releasing "tentative" news and wait until you have solid news.

I think this is good "news" (perhaps "status update" would be a better term?). It's not even "just another two weeks" away ;-P (although three weeks has passed since the actual news about the "pre-release goes gold" was posted, and my guess is that it will take about "another two weeks", after this coming single week has passed, until the dealers got it and then the end-users, it could be as much as a month of additional waiting time counting from today).

I do feel that you are perhaps aiming too high on this. People have waited a decade/4 years (depends on how you define it) for this release, a release that obviously was finnished already a month ago. But instead of just simply open up an FTP and/or mailing out some home burnt CDR's in a paper envelope to everyone (you know, one of the kind that printer drivers etc are shipped with), you are spending a month of time waiting for a "CD Production Plant" and redesigning CD covers in 4 colour print! This is definitely a big overkill for a "developer pre-release" aimed for some hundred(s?) die-hard Amiga geeks; i.e. a product that's not even finnished in a first "final" release. Well, it's really none of my business how you decide to spend your time and money, and it's not that I am on the waiting list anyway, but tell me; are you going to go through this whole process with every slightest future updated version of this pre-release until the first final version is here?

I am sure that most *dealers* wouldn't mind burning a few copies to their respective customers that does not have broad band access or CD burner.

Or another way (if it for some strange reasons simply *must* be a CD ONLY approach) could perhaps have been to upload an ISO to an FTP that is exclusive for dealers? I'm sure that none of them would mind, you could perhaps offer them a small number of finnished products for free as compensation. That way, a lot of time and money would have been saved, and everyone would have had their CD's already two weeks ago.

Hast it occurred to anyone that the whole 4 colour cover and cd thing could be because Hyperion is also "beta testing" the packaging? If they can get the design and process sorted out now, that's one less thing to worry about come release time.

I fully understand why Hyperion now tell AmigaOS fans more exact dates than before (they are now so close & fans are really desperate/impatient. Also I understand why they still use the "tantative" word. They try to minimize possible effects of murphy's Law.

What's that got to do with anything? Eyetech's customers have hitherto payed for AmigaOS with all Terons sold, haven't they? The "Earlybird" offer? People who buy their hardware from licensed hardware distributors are the only ones who can buy and use AmigaOS4+ anyway. Neither this "developer pre-release" nor the final product will actually be for sale directly to end customers.

(Besides, time-limited OS pre-releases have been available for free download - and on CD - from Microsoft for quite some time now.)

>... one is lead to assume that the delay is only due to

It is true, and your suggestive manner of writing doesn't change it. Matter of fact is, there where a few matters to clear up concerning the cover print (four color print turned out to be insufficient since the print would look better on white background)


Suggestive manner or not, nothing I wrote was intended to change or say anything else than what I wrote, and as you say it turned out to be true, so what's the beef this time?
My point was simply that to me this whole CD pressing, cover printing(!) and distribution ordeal seems to be overkill bordering on the ridiculous, a waste of time and resources (which we have been told are limited), when the purpose is just to get a developer pre-release out to people who have already payed for the final software and have waited for this sneak-peek since it was first announced to be released, before Christmas IIRC. Fancy or not-so-fancy CDs and Internet distribution aren't mutually exclusive, but that seems to be the theory behind the way that this is handled.

I'm not complaining, just wondering, and I think that the general "WTF?" feeling of this thread isn't exactly unexpected.

I don't see the need to explain this over again, least of all to someone that repeatedly stated he's never going to be a customer.

Pretend that whoever you're talking about isn't reading your reply then, and please tell the rest of us. I'm pretty sure I have never read an explanation to why a developer pre-release must only be distributed on professionally pressed CDs with colour printed covers, and why such details should be allowed to introduce month-long delays for simply getting something that's already been announced as finished out there. (I'm sorry if I missed such an explanation, but then hopefully someone will have a link handy.)

Speculation: This is going to be the final release of AmigaOS 4.0, and you're just teasing! ;)
