AmigaOS4 Feature Set: Release 1

[Rogue]

Reaction is the GUI for OS 4. MUI is included for those programs that need it, and to faciliate easy porting - it wouldn't make sense to expect people to first move to a whole new user interface if we claim source code compatibility.

Wait until you see the new IBrowse ;-)

Finally, don't forget this is preliminary. There are some thing that didn't make it in this list...

It would be nice if that would become real

Note that it says this is a possibility, not that it is/wil be implemented. It is just a means to show off how neat the memory subsystem is ;-)

So it's just the same as the 8mb "chipmem" that I had on Amithlon
for the last year ? O.k. nice, but nothing big. And yes I would
could imagine that this could be usefull for that other OS too.

No, it could actually be made into a full-fledged AGA emulation, since you would be able to catch read/writes to the AGA area when set up correctly (i.e. the page fault handler would do the work). We don't intend to do this, though, but if someone is crazy^H^H^H^H^Hmotivated enough, he could try...

What the hell are you talking about? Linux has context switching times of about 1 to 4 microseconds. ExecSG has stated 1 microsecond. Sounds rather like this is on par.

Just for the records:

ms = milliseconds
us = microseconds
ns = nanoseconds

We stated one microsecond. So again, what is your point?
