Hyperion might well make the finest OS in the world, but if they don't release it soon, no-one will be left to use it.

If you want an original answer from me, teotwin, show me an original thread. This is just more pseudo-news to keep us following until they finally do release, and you and I both know it.

All my enthusiasm for OS4 recently ran out. Maybe it's because MOS and PC solutions are stealing away Amiga users by the day. I want OS4, I always wanted OS4, but forgive me if I'm a little cynical after almost 4 years of useless waiting and staring in the face of another year of waiting.

Oh, and here's the guy who was complaining about "thread after thread of MOS bashing".


Exactly right, Kay!

It's always the same. You see a positive statement on OS4, and its a certainty someone high up in Genesi or MOS development will come forward and say "Hey, that's a load of crap, you guys know nothing, here's the real deal from us real coders..." Most of the time it's just an exercise in nitpicking, as in this case.

And as we say earlier, while the MOS core tend to like spreading FUD about every single little announcement about A1/OS4, they just don't seem to like their own medicine. Strange that.

And I'm not switching sides, by the way - I'm still pessimistic about OS4 - but unlike some, I'd actually still love it if I could get it soon. I'm just unimpressed by the culture of claim and counter-claim that's been wearying my eyes for the past years...
