Oh man, I *really* want some screenshots now!

I wonder what the surprise will be?

And I'm stuck on the other side of the planet! :ranting:

Well, at least amiwest will be nearby  :-D

I am so biased, it almost hurts... :-)

pictures, pictures, pictures, pictures, pictures! Now! Cannot wait.

No other computing event has gotten me this excited ever. I lit up completely when I towered and reinstalled workbench a while ago, as well.

Ahh, the amiga spirit.

Sincerely,

-Kenneth Straarup (pre-celebrating with a beer)

If OS4 rocks, then it will rock because it's good, not because it's OS4. And if its not good, then it will suck, regardless of whether it's OS4 or not.

I'm hoping for some good, unbiased reports on it, good or bad. 8-)

I hope the interface (note: not the same as appearance) has been significantly improved. Amiga OS is still my favourite OS, but Workbench left something to be desired in fundamental areas such as icon arrangement...

Tell me about it... If only i had learnt to meditate and astral travel or have an Out of body experiance of some kind (some people believe you can learn how to do it[doesnt involve blunt objects to the head]) I'd be waking up in what would seem like 2 mins from now and the pictures would have already been uploaded :)

Good news guys, they've gone for the default WinXP theme! :-)

The default appearance of OS 4 is only 80 % done but we hope to finish it in the course of the Tour.

The idea behind the design was to have something that both looks modern and instantly recognisable as Amiga.

There are doubtlessly going to people who think it looks too conservative or not fancy enough but at the same time we don't want to alienate the userbase with something to fanciful.

Focus on the functionality however and remember that we introduced a high degree  of "skinnability".

Its nearly been 12 hours since i woke up... tha tmeans its nearly been 12 hours since i've been waiting for these pictures...

I dont know if i can wait much longer... How long does the show go for? Im guessing the odd person should spend two hours there... then the guy with the camera Pono, or something should take 2 hours to get home... so, 7 it starts, 2 more hours of browsing, (9 oclock and 2 hours to get back and upload the pictures... So, another hour to go yet maybe?

*sigh*

The show finishes 19:00 their time so I think we might have quite a wait.

Curious about the default look and the surprise. Hope it will be better than those ancient screenshots.
