seriously, I'd love to put my hands on OS4! Has no one who has it tried ImageFX???? (who didn't see that comin'???)


ImageFX was running and works properly (one of the photos on SEAL's website proves this)

So, is OS4 stable?


Fairly.  There are a few things that don't work as expected, a few operations which crash.  It's in beta.  This is to be expected.  Overall though it works very well and I didn't see any major problems on any of the show machines.

can you open a bunch of windows and it doesn't bog down?


The GUIs were drawing faster than my A1200 so I'm guessing yes on this one... but I didn't try it myself.

Quote
are there ANY programs on it??


Only the usual OS stuff.  There are OS4 native apps but these don't come with OS4 of course.

Quote
were the systems at the show multiboot (with linux)??


No.

Quote
is there a nice GUI for switching from one OS to the other when rebooting???


No, although this could happen with a FLB (I think) for Linux.  At the moment you have to break into U-Boot and start Linux manually.

can someone transport me ("Beam me up, Scotty") to an AmigaONE right now so I can see and touch it???? :lol:


You can come and look at mine any time you want. :-)  Bring the OS4 install CD with you. :love:
