Any REAL news from the OS4-tour ?

Wow, just what i always wanted. An ann slag fest live @ amiga.org

Can someone delete all the posts (including this one) after kronos, because their offtopic and just plain stupid flames!!!

Sorry kronos, i cant answere your questions

[Rodney]

Like the featurelist, basic system requirements, and screenshots?  How much of Windows, Linux distros, the BSDs, Solaris or MacOS do you see before a new release?

Most of what you see of windows is through leaked betas. I recall MS i pretty hard up when its about releasing secreats of up and coming OSs. I dont know about MacOSX, but i dont remember hearing or seeing much information before a release.

However, the Open Source communities do, but thats because they have nothing to loose when detailing what they've been up to. There are a number of reasons.

You can download it for free. Ie, and betas or nightly builds can be downloaded or you can download the source and compile it yourself to see whats happened.

Their not compeditive with MS or Apple or anyone else, so they dont have any secretes that are viable for the paltform.

AmigaOS is totally, different. With MOS around the corner, Amiga Inc and /or Hyperion dont want to give away trade secreats. But having said that, i think we've seen enough featurelists and prerelease screen grabs to know whats going on. I think thats all their required to do!

Kronos is a troll, a morphOS user with no interest in OS4 whatsoever.

I dont know if kronos is a troll. I know he's keen for MorphOS and asks a lot of questions about AmigaOS when something bigsh happens. Nothing wrong with that.

Although, that bit in kronos text about the OS4 develop (rouge i believe) was very uncalled for. But it happened, and everyone should have left it there. Its not kronos fault the flame war started, it takes more than one to do that. The first to reply pretty much cemented it in!!!!

@To the Friedens:

They did a bit of trolling too remember

Keep up the hard work. One day you will be rewarded for it. Be proud of what you have achieved, no matter what some ppl say (always the same ppl by the way) and keep fighting for what you believe in. I hope that you will be able to really show off what you have done yourselves next weekend in Germany.

Keep the OS4 tour rolling Cant wait to see what other things might be install, if any. These guys are doing a great job. Keep up the good work.

Well, thats not how i saw it.

 Subject : Any REAL news from the OS4-tour ?

You say Rude, i say Kronos opinion that maybe there hasnt been any reay news. I disagree that there hasnt because i believe features lists, several interviews and screen shots to be enough. However, kronos was not insulting anyone, putting anyone down or behaving badly, so i can see how this can be used as flame bait.

Oh well now they finally dared to show OS4, and waht do we get ??

Again personal opinion, not insults thrown and no need for flame.

Another bunch of useless screenshots

Saaaaaaame....

Did anybody ask, what the were seeing ?
How much is still 68k, and how much is PPC ?
(and no, I don't care wether it is just a recompile away, I want to know what is NOW)

nothing wrong with it...

What did run ? 68k SW ? WOS ? OS4-native ?
Is P96 allready intregrated in in graphics/layers, or still patching the orginal libs ?
And how will that affect the AGA-compabilty ?
What HW was used ? SCSI (on the CS-PPC) ? Where new drivers used (emu or native ?), or
ist it still the Phase5-device running in emu ?
What GFX-card ? Zorro,PCI or CV-PPC ? And what others are supported RIGHT NOW ?

These should have been answered before the flames started, and the fact that they went says to me, people are more interested in flaming then stating some useful information and actualy makeing the community look functional for once.

And yes I know someone will come around and tell me that I ain't worth an answer

Well, he was right - seriously, someone could reply to this, but not with insults and flames.

(hi Hans-Jörg), but that doesn't change the fact that my questions are valid,

Ok, this, because he mentioned a specific person, prolly does diserve a flame. From the person whos name was spoken anyway .

and that
STRAIGHT answer to them would give a much better insight in the state of things as a
million of screenshots could ever do.

Again, no reason for a flame, unless the freedens feel they ahve to or anyone related.

The fact is, kronos may have a reputation of being a keen MOS support. In real life, this my threaten them. Kronos on the most part, seems to be pretty intelegent, and from time to time, this shows .

The fact that kronos asks some pretty tuff question shouldnt be taken as flamebait. The only reason people seem to take them that way, is because everyone feels a little too passionate  about AmigaOS. Its like a religion. When someone questions your religion or asks some pretty tough questions, you may not like it.  That does mean you start calling them names or abusing them. All you do is give them the answeres their looking for, or agree to disagree.

Look where the second post has goten us . 100+ threat about flaming. This is silly.
