Aos 3 -> aos 4

. The Pegasos was a nice machine 7 years ago, but the Sam 460 beats it.

The SAM might run at similar clockspeed, but that is a core 2 generations older than the G4 lacking Altivec.

So in reality you bound to see many reallife benchmarks were that old Peg2 beats the crap out of the brand-new SAM and some more were the SAM is slightly faster.....


Until you throw a MacMini/PMac or PowerBook clocked at 1.5GHz or higher into the mix ....

Fab's OWB is only OWB by name (and I'm quite sure you know that). It's a MUI-browser useing WebKit and as such stands on the same level for being it's own browser as Safari or Chrome.

LimberWolf ? Seen it, and for everyday browsing I'd rather take Voyager,IBrowse or even Aweb (yuk). There is a reason why most OS4-users had 2 or more browsers handy, none of them was good enough to get you through the day.

MorphOS-PowerBook support was not ANNOUNCED in 2009, actually I'm quite sure it's not even announced today...... See that the difference with the MorphOS-team, they do show quite open what they are working on but the also make it 100% clear that they can't&won't promise specific features/release-dates while still early in the development-cycle.

OS4.1 on PuP exist for 2 reasons (which boil down to 1 if you think about it):
1) lots of the pro-Hyperion crowd have never made the investment in a OS4-supported nextgen

2) Hyperion can't make money of the X1000 yet (well assuming the prepay-scheme-money wasn't redirected) and the SAMs aren't selling in high enough numbers.

Wether it makes sense to waste resources on 10-15 year old HW needing 15-20 year old motherboards performing on a level that wasn't impressive even back than is another question.

I rather prefer an OS-team that concentrated on perfecting their OS on given HW and going for supporting easy-2-obtain, cheap and powerfull HW, even more if it includes a laptop...

Why should I ? I'm 100% sure I can view/use more aspects of the web with OWB than you can do with LimberWolf. So maybe it runs some obscure plugins... so what ? I allways click "Deny" when a webpage tries to install on of those anyways.

>Then the Mophosians shall not make public previews to unaware people
>and give them false hopes.

Yeah they should go with useing stupid acronyms (MAP anyone) posting braindead puzzles on their website and not forget to name dates that have no chance of holding water (you don't have to wait till summer).

Way better PR-wise !!!!!

>You and me both know that all these MOS previews are mainly from
>distraction of the Amiga crowd from the AmigaOS 4 development.

You and me both know that you are running low on the pills against your paranoia ....

The whole idea that the MorphOS-team would care enough bout OS4 to time posting screenshots is so far out it could make the plot for the next CSI/NCIS/Law&Order spinoff.

>It makes sense if there is someone to buy the product.
Xactly what I said. Real question is how many would be there to buy the product (OS4 for PuP) if OS4 was available on cheap&powerfull HW.

Something we will never find out.




AmigaOS 4.
Your latest sentence is irrelevant, because as you said there is no MOS for laptops yet! Contradicting yourself, eh?[/QUOTE]
