I was gone for a while, about 3 months I think, but anyways... someone update me on the world of Amiga... is OS4 even out yet?!? I've been waiting for the longest time! I want my AmigaONE and my OS4, and I told myself I would wait until AFTER the OS4 came out... I hope I get good news.

Nope, the competition, MorphOS, is up to version 1.4 but no OS4 yet.

OS4 isn't released, but...
*OS4 runs on the A4000/CSPPC (you probably knew that)
*Most of the modules that need to be PPC are PPC. Including massive re-writes like AmigaDOS (no more BCPL!)
*OS4 boots into workbench on the A1 - the drawback ATM is that graphics.library is running under emulation with some legacy chipset emulation - but it still works well enough to run programs stably
*OS4 on this CSPPC now seems in a very usable (ie perhaps getting close to releaseable???) state.
*Pagestream will be ported to OS4
*Photos of a prototype of the upcoming (next year) AmigaONE lite were released - this is a Mini-ITX board
