AmiOS 4.0

[Quixote]

Aniway asked:

Does anyone know if AOS4.0 would have a way to end processes? For example, if IBrowse freezes up, could I have an option other than suspend or reboot, where I could terminate the program like Windows offers so I can re-run the program without a reboot?

:-( I've just skimmed through the recent features.pdf regarding AmigaOS4, but have seen nothing similar to what you mention.  I may have missed it,if it were there.

;-) On the other hand, it shouldn't be too difficult to add in for later versions, if it isn't implimented already.

The_Editor thought excitedly:

...Then again,  if os4 boots as fast as they say it will.. is it neccessary?

;-) Well, let's say that while you're typing in a word processor, you're also rendering something complex in the background, and each frame takes a couple of hours to finish.  The current frame has been rendering for the last ninety minutes.

:-( Now your word processor freezes up.  Rebooting would waste ninety minutes of rendering time, regardless of how quickly it reboots.
