However, I am concerned about the missing features (see my signature) and the lack of answers from either AmigaInc or Hyperion regarding this.



ACM is an AmigaDE project only. If you are looking for a component model in general, I can tell you that the new shared library system comes close. It is missing a central registry in the sence that you cannot create components by GUID or string ID, but that would be easily added.

Audio is implemented using AHI, as is clearly stated in the feature list. OS 4.x with x > 0 will have reworked audio/graphics/multimedia.

(By the way, does anyone know who is developing the web browser for AmigaOS4?)


IBrowse will be included. See the interview with Stefan Burstrom recently, or the OS 4 feature list

OS 4 will be similar to AmigaOS BTW, not MacOS X. We're trying to get some of the better features from other OSes included, but "similar" is too strong a term, and hardly desirable...

 Yes, and.. source code is being compiled from  BSD and Linux for core components of AmigaOS4.


Sorry, that's untrue. The only BSD'ish thing is RoadShow, but I don't know if this was really based on any BSD source code or if Olaf wrote it from scratch.

 (There is also a rumour that code for ExecSG is compiled from openVMS too.)


[color=CC0000]ABSOULTE UTTERLY UNTRUE RUMOUR[/color]

I wonder who came up with that, although I can imagine...

Not a single line of source code in ExecSG is old, stolen, or compiled from other sources. It was all written from scratch, except for half a dozen functions that came from original Exec (ANSI C compiled to PowerPC code, before rumours of "emulated 68k ExecSG" come up again).

(if someone wants to flame me now for harassing people, go ahead)

Perhaps, not for you, but to developers coming from Windows or Mac then these are desired features.

By the way, I am coming from the Windows market. Don't you want me to be in this market?


Of course we do.

And take that as a compliment, I like VMS.


Saying "it reminds me of VMS" is something different than what I read into it. Saying "being based on OpenVMS" smells of theft, and like I said, ExecSG is a completely new kernel.

@Mr.Akey and Mr.Frieden

Could you comment about my earlier post in this thread, point by point? In mature and constructive way, like I did.


So?

My point of view only, fuel up the flamethrowers.


Still insisting on your constructiveness?

Other than that, I think Ray's posting sums it up quite nicely.

A friendly advise.. stop posting anything. You really are not good at that. Or maybe next time ask Akey some advice.


I can't help it if you don't like my replies.
As soon as you start posting in a mature manner, I will too. Until then...
