OS4 Web Browser and more?
« on: October 14, 2003, 08:58:56 AM »
I believe that nowadays, one of the MOST important aspects of a Personal Computer is the Internet use. Therefore, the existance of a high quality Web Browser is more than mandatory. I, amongst others, expect the Amiga OS 4 release just to go out there and grab an Amiga One immediately! However, I really wonder; Is a decent Web Browser coming with OS4? Will I be able to "trash" my peecee and start using my Amiga One for daily Internet use?

I think that, if the Amiga OS 4 can offer some, basic nowadays, things such as: DVD Playback, Internet Browsing/Chatting, CDR/DVDR functionality and a good Spreadsheet/Word Processing package, more and more users will think of it as a good alternative. If not...  ;-)

I'm happy most of you agree with me. It is however, in my opinion, very difficult to see the Amiga One becoming a competitive Multimedia Computer, simply because it won't have the required software. It will most likely end up as it is today, a hobbyist machine  :-x  Unless of course things change, and a major developer is interested in the Amiga (don't ask me why, I just hope...)!

Well there were certainly times when the Amiga had a handfull of software (and I remember them). However I am not talking about quantity here, we just need the basic applications for the today's user. If the Amiga can achieve to have a successfull pack of multimedia applications (with today's standards of course), it might stand a chance to appeal to more people than it does right now. Well, at least I think so...
