I'd like to know why people using AOS 3 doesn't jump on the AOS 4 train? What is holding you back exactly?


I made the jump to AOS4 at the end of 2004.
 
We purchased our Commodore Amiga 2000HD in about 1989-1990 with AmigaOS 1.3.  Later upgraded to AmigaOS 3.1.  It did not have an accelerator card, so our system ran on the 68000 CPU.  Our AOS 3.1 Workbench was fairly simple with a nice background picture and no extra eye candy.  All the programs had to work with the 68000 CPU.  I was using AWeb and AmiTCP/IP for internet over a dial-up modem at 19.2Kbps.

I have never owned an A3000 or A4000 or A1200.

My wife and I had the A2000HD and some X86 PC's.  My wife and son were no longer interested in Amiga stuff.  They used Microsoft Windows.  I was using the old A2000HD and running QNX on one of the X86 PC's.  I became interested in MorphOS and OS4, but I could not afford to purchase two complete systems.
 
At the end of 2004, I purchased my MicroAmigaOne (MicroA1-C) with AmigaOS 4.0 Developer Pre-release.  Since then I have gone through many updates and currently run AmigaOS 4.1 Update 2.

And right now most OS4 users are using a version of OWB ported from MorphOS.


I don't think it is available to most OS4 users.  Beta testers maybe.

I currently use
OWB 3.31
NetSurf 3.0 (Development) graphics.library static build
AmigaOS4 OEM version of IBrowse 2.4
AWeb APL 3.5.09 Lite
