>Intuition

Ahn those intregrated VirtualPrefs and Birdies running ontop
of OS3.x (yes I know based on orginal sources but still)

>RoadShow
I think that was allready demonstrated last summer (on Amithlon).

>MediaToolBox
The single most important part of any OS !!

Where is ExecSG ? Petunia ? The A1 booting OS4 (I think that
was in that OSNews-Article) ? Radeon-drivers ?

Sorry but if that's all they can show, than it's even longer to
the release than I thought.

And thats for OS-A1 with all drivers and Radeon-2D.

Since there is no talk about ExecSG on that show, and Warp
wouldn't make sense (context switches), I would say 100% 68k.

Don't know what that has to do with.

For removable devices you will need device and a mountfile.

Using removeable disk as HD is allready possible with the old
HDToolBox it just doesn't make any sense.

1) Both RoadShow and the new Intuition have been developed on 68k.
(RoadShow is even planned to be available this way)

2) ExecSG is supposed to be API-compatible with Exec.

3) Even "nearly finished" is still unfinished.

4) Since Petunia doesn't run on ExecSG (yet) it would be
impossible to use any 68k-code on it, and if Hyperion could
do that, well than OS4 would be finished  ;-)

Never said anything about being half-empty(ready), but
a glass that isn't filled up to the marker can't be served.

Even if it's only a tiny bit that's missing.

@simplex
Maybe they want to demostrate Q2 (WarpOS) too ?

@jumpship

If I just filled the glass: It's half full.
If I just drank out of it : It's half empty.

If I have nothing to do with the current state of that particular class:

Who give a flying f*** it's       off topic
