I've been running OS3.5 for some time now, along with DOpus 5.82 and numerous other patches and random things. I've been wondering about OS3.9 and I had a browse through the feature list at Amiga.com.
And my question is:
Is it worth it for me to get OS3.9? Or am I (as I suspect) better off sticking with OS3.5 and relying on third party stuff to get the additional features?
FFS - I use SFS anyway, and my 4xEIDE adds additional support stuff.
CD Filesystem stuff - I already use AllegroCDFS
Internet - Already use IBrowse and Miami
Filetypes, AmiDock, etc - DOpus 5.82 provides similar features, already use XAD
Shell - Already use VNC
Reaction - Is it any better than with OS3.5? Not much else other than the prefs seem to use it anyway.
AMP/Action - Now these would be nice, but it seems I would be better off just getting MooVid.
PPC Support - I have no intention of moving to PPC, though if I did there seem to be other options available anyway.
Is there anything I haven't thought of? Any major upgrades or bugfixes that OS3.9 provides that I can't get elsewhere?
Perusing the various FAQs I also get the impression that OS3.9 might just cause more problems for me than it would fix.
I hope I don't sound all "OS3.9 sux!", I firmly believe that it's the greatest OS ever. I just think it might not be appropriate for me, considering what I already have.
Any advice / feedback / comments / suggestions / condemnation would be most welcome.
And because someone is guaranteed to bring it up, OS4 is not an option. I'm a 68k fan and am perfectly happy to remain so (though an 060 sure would be nice).
