Question 1: what you have demonstrated looks like (to me at least) OS 3.9 and a couple add ons(I know we can get technical, but bottom line is it wasnt running on an AmigaOne and it wasnt ALL running on the PPC accel from what I was able to gleam), when will a tangible OS4 beta be out?

tangible? I mean running on AmigaOne with zero-custom hardware and no 68K...


Question 2: (this has been asked to death but I'd certinly like to hear an answer direct from you)

You(maybe not YOU Ben but people on the Amiga.inc side of things)  claim the purpose of AmigaOne's dongle/rom/whatever you want to call it is to ensure 'quality' standerds and such???... bieng that AmigaOne is only a motherboard and OS how do you make sure every single computer derived from this and sold by a third party  meets the extremely high-standerds of Hyperion

do you have field testers?, rigorous VAR school/etc?, secret in-company quality checkers?.. how do you do it...

B00tdisk thank you for your compliments  :-D

HyperionMP I'm talking about AOS4 running on hardware that was sold to people in advance for the express purpose of running it....sure those other OS's you mention had their problems moving ahead...but had Apple demod OSX on a 68K mac and called it the future...would the macheads be cheering?

Waine the AmigaOne systems go to people who re-sell them right?... I've heard it said the 'Dongle' for OS4 is to ensure 'system stability' etc etc etc...but who is going around checking if the AmigaOne's in all the various configurations that will no doubt be sold...are going to be 'stable' and 'solid' etc etc etc?... thats my point...
