0S4 development on track

Yes,I know,my english isn`t too good.
Sorry.

@ami

I think others have certainly said it better than me....already...here is what we know

OS 4 is not ready.
No one knows when it will be ready.

That is THE problem.  As a technical person I would certainly find interest in the details of the technical issues, but as a consumer, I know all I need to know:

I can't buy it, I can't budget for it.

In that regard, nothing has changed from the Boris post, we knew these things before.

[MarkTime]

oh dear, you are a beta tester for OS 4, it must be the high point in your life.

I know how you feel, I was a beta tester for 'toon talk'....I still remember those days so fondly...  :-o  :-o  :-o  :-o  :-o  :-o  :-o  :-o  :-o  :-o

I wonder whatever happened to toon talk anyway....

[Ami603]

No,maybe isn`t the high point of my life,but I
never talk about something that i do NOT know
for sure.That`s simple,i think.

I have no idea how it's test OS4 but at the time Commodore was still doing fine I worked on small company that were part of their 'Commercial Developer Program' .. Thanks to that we also get those early docs and OS1.4 (later 2.0) beta releases.

At that time it was all a bit different... Getting beta-OS's  on diskettes alongside paper copies of early devdocs of new features of OS.  Having e-mails using private Uucp network (= Long distance dialup modems).  And yes.. at that time it was great  :-P

@davep .. I could go on and on and tell what I do these days and how I learned to distrust certain companies  but then other people here would attack me on repeating myself on time too many.  :-D

"And pulling the 68k emulator out of UAE and renaming it 'petunia' wasn't all the hard either."

I'm no coder, but all I've heard leads me to conclude that isn't as easy as you think... JIT engine is very CPU specific

[Hattig]

And pulling the 68k emulator out of UAE and renaming it 'petunia' wasn't all the hard either.

I want to know how you will get x86 running on a PPC...

Petunia is coded from scratch to run optimally on the PowerPC. I don't know how it compares to other 68k->PPC JITs yet, but that isn't the point.

Don't comment on things you don't have a clue about.

You are quite obviously completely clueless.

@Ami603

No no that thing I said before wasn`t aimed at you. It was aimed at the guy above you. Sorry. English isn`t your first language so we all understand. Better than my Spanish, I`ll tell you. :-)

One shouldn’t expect that particular regime with another administration.

Somehow I think operating like Commodore may prove to be a slight disadvantage. :-)

Maybe a free pass can be arranged from the flame-kidz. I'm all ears!

@Nick:
No problem, i was also a little bit out of context.
:evil::crazy:

Is there AOS4 beta for A1 available for those selected betatesters?

Is it still possible to become a AmigaOS4.0 betatester?

That would be the only reason for me to get the AmigaOne before AOS4.0 is finished.
(and I would be happy if I could do something to help to get the AOS4 working... I do have work experience from some well over 10 (successfull) SW projects...)
