The OS4.1 WB IMHO has a beautiful look, has high functionality, and has that classic Amiga feel to it.  While this may not appeal to everyone, and there are always people unhappy with "something," I am not sure that Hyperion/A-Eon/Amigakit are willing to write a new interface just for a minority; and in the realm of the Amiga minority, a second subset must really be a minority.

What would OS3.X have to go through to be on par with OS4.X?
I really do not know how to ask the question.
I do not know how different the two are from each other.
( Let's get ready to rumble! :D )

OS3.X went through a lot of hard work over many to become OS4.1+, so the question seems to be, "How could I find a new independent version of OS4 also derived from OS3 that went through some other pathway than what Hyperion used?"

Some people would answer MorphOS.  I would not myself.

Hi
Since we have Scalos, Ambient or even Dopus Magellan II I found pretty strange that there's no decision from Hyperion to replace the actual paleolithic WB with one them?
Just curious...

If Paleolithic means that WorkBench came from "the early phase of the Stone Age,  lasting about 2.5 million years, when primitive stone implements were  used," then I really do own some vintage hardware!

So that PET 8032 of mine would be how old?
