Hello!

I'd like to know why people using AOS 3 doesn't jump on the AOS 4 train? What is holding you back exactly?


Well, to me OS4 is the least appealing alternative OS when coming from 68k.

It is the most expensive solution (AROS is for free, MorphOS total cost of a system is also way cheaper).

It is rather slow (loses most benchmaks) and many things are missing (usb 2, sound driver with Sam 460, scsi on classic).

The wannabe professional attitude from Hyperion et al. is annoying.

The look is pretty old fashioned, the shell not improved over 3.x.

There's no indocation that future upgrades will bring significant improvemts.
 
Lots of broken promises, FUD and lies with fanatsy hardware and features as well as the two more weeks stuff

Most capable developers are elsewhere.

No good web browser.


My appealing list: MorphOS, AROS, FPGA stuff, UAE, OS4.
