OS 4.1 Update 3 Released

[HotRod]

I do not appreciate being personally attacked and my work berated when you don't even use the product in question.

Well I am and I have to say that I was supriced to see that comment too. It is getting a bit on the low side if you blame everything and anything and step away from responsibility as soon as there are a negative comment regarding AOS 4.x. In this case it was rather silly I must say. This is what I've a big problem with and I won't change my mind about it no matter for how long you ban me. Instead of doing that you should realize that it was silly to put it in a kind way. OR you could explain what has changed and why it isn't working.

Are you gonna continue down this path every time someone reports an issue? I can tell you if you haven't figured it out, it won't work and you will lose costumers. My foot is halfway out the door and I'm sure that I'm not the only one fealing this way.

If things doesn't improve that is how it is going to end. You don't have to be a psychic to realise that, you just need to use your brain. Common sense.

Oh and if you still don't understan you can send me an e-mail or PM me and I can give it to you and explain how bad the situation is and why. I actually got a lot to say about it.

I feal that it is high time because this whole situation is getting out of hand and maybe you should realise that before you sitt there with two users left and only developers.

As a paying customer of both OS4 and MorphOS, please see the attached image as an illustration of my frustration with how OS4 development is proceeding. EDIT: Looks like the image uploader crunched down the resolution. If you can't read it, the two lines are 'Bugs' and 'New Features'

The time between releases is absurdly long. USB2.0 took literally years to materialize and is apparently still buggy. If the release cycle was much shorter, that wouldn't bother me so much - hence the inverse relationship between bugs and features on the 'Expectations' graph.

I'd rather see more frequent, less-feature-laden OS4 updates than we have in the current release model, even if it means they're buggier. Or maybe it's time to do away with the closed-beta and just have an opt-in, no-support, bleeding-edge, as-new-OS-files-are-available update model through AmiUpdate (like Debian sid or Debian experimental).

I don't mean for this to be hostile. I hope this is constructive feedback. If any of the OS4 guys want to discuss further, please get in touch.

Seeing how update 3 aimed to be the last update for AOS 4.1 this is a big disapointment. I expected more since it has taken so long between update 2 and 3. The bigest improvement are faster graphics and it's nice that USB 2 is finally available. However OWB still gets stuck at 100% and I still got the same issues with the graphicscard that is the recommended modell.

I don't know if they'll ever get it right but since 4.1 was released it hasn't been working properly IMO. I am very tempted to reverse to 4.0, it actually worked better over all. I prefer a stable and working system than a half-working system with new features.

Network speed is a lot faster too. Downloaded something from os4depot.net using IBrowse and got about 2MB/s and it's always been 400-500kb/s befores this update.

Yes, nice bootpic, like that as well. Haven't had IBrowse crashing on startup, at least not yet so it might be fixed. Faster graphics, even my old Radeon 7000 worked fine with compositing on when moving windows but was really slow before the update.

I am very tempted to make a video showing what I'm doing regarding the DDC issue since they don't seem to believe me or take me seriously.

I don't buy it. You claim to be interested in OS4 cause. I don't see how humiliating people in public who devote their time to working on it can help in that.

greets,
Staf.

I had missed that comment so I will reply now. If I wasn't interested I wouldn't had bought the A1 XE nor would I've bought AOS 4.1. Makes sense, right? Regarding the humiliating people in public I can tell you how I work. If someone treats me in a bad way I will eventually do the same. That is a normal human reaction. Being told that something isn't "rocket surgery" when you've struggled with an issue that is very anoying isn't exactly friendly, at least not the way I see it and on top of that he followed that thread and made a bug report about it. Everything that I had done to fix the issue he already knew. To me that is noting else but arrogant behaviour and it's humiliating because it is the same as saying "hey, this isn't very hard, even a 5 year old can do that so why can't you?".

I feal no need to defend myself and I don't lay awake at night fealing that I've treated anyone worse than I've been treated myself so buy what you wan't and think what you want I really don't care.
