Trying AOS 3.9 ... this is complete garbage!
« on: November 09, 2005, 03:48:23 PM »
This OS is totally garbage. I tried to install Ibrowse but the software asked for MUI... then I installed MUI and re installed Ibrowse... well the prog still doesn't see muimaster library. What the heck!? Many installers ask to insert "name" volumes without letting you put in another volume or drawer. The Aweb program is unbelievably annoying and it doesn't even show a JPG image alone (it asks for JPGTMP volume). What the heck!?!?!? Is the os40 any different?

Clean up the HD? This is a fresh OS3.9 installation. I don't have anything to clear. I'm sorry to say but windows xp is light years ahead of this Amiga OS. Does anyone know if the OS4 is more user friendly?

Man. I was an Amiga user at the end of eighties and early nineties. I know what an Amiga is. I can say for sure that this OS 3.9 doesn't deliver any significant improvement over the WB 1.3 . As for the OSes to be "idiot friendly" you are completely wrong. Go study some ITC theory. If you think OSes have to be obscure and user unfriendly you have lost. This is the usual crap talking by people who think they are cool because they know how to run some tricky programs (not different from Linux users). Well, no, you are not cool. If the OS is not user friendly it means people who developed it must change their hobby/work to something which has less impact on other people. Eg. cooking an egg or something

I was not asking questions. I was just stating the OS is garbage cause infact it is. If you think you can compete in todays market with this kind of OS you have lost completely.

By my understanding OS4 which has to be released yet will not fix these issues and won't be user friendly at all. I don't think it's a machine related problem but software related. And yes, I am telling you, this kind of OS can't compete on todays markets so if the OS4 will not be a total different story it will be a big flop from the beginning. (As it will be anyway since noone is going to change his modern PC with an overpriced amiga which can't even run a decent browser
