Very nice, I don't own an A1, nor can I buy one so I don't really care at the moment.

Now if only they'll let it run on Efika, or ANY hardware that is actually purchaseable, then I'd be jumping for joy.

Still this will certainly make a very nice Christmas present for those who actually have A1s.

B00tDisk speaks the truth. The last thing A.org needs is to turn into another AW.net where realism is cast aside and anyone who mentions the appaling business practices of AInc, or the 'you-have-to-laugh-or-you'll-cry' situation with the hardware is vitriolically abused by 'True Amigans'(tm).

This final release for OS4 changes nothing in the real world, this will not get any Windows, Linux or Mac users interested in Amiga; and even when hardware is finally released no one but us fanatics will buy it because it will be of poor performance and cos t several times more than a commodity x86 or x64 board. But we'll be expected to suck it down because it's 'custom'.

Personally, I'm thinking my next computer will probably be a nice cheap Efika board to run Linux (and when/if they're ported to it AROS and MorphOS). If AInc come to their senses and let it run OS4 then I'll gladly buy a copy but I don't see that happening ever, feuding with Genesi is clearly more important to them than running a business or selling an OS.
