So AmigaOS 4.1 will be an update to the old AmigaOne or MicroAmiga users right? So why we bother? :-o

I'm sure that they expect to get it running on more hardware eventually. There's no point in sitting around and doing nothing until then.

This is great news.

You are far too optimistic  ;-)
Yet... I hope you are right.

In my mind, we have been waiting for new hardware for years now so I can't see anything suddenly cropping up in the near future. Again, I hope that isn't the case but it is very easy to be negative in these times.

Well I have an Amigaone, so there's a reason for my optimism. So far the OS4 devs have done what they said that they would do. Supporting more hardware is on their list. Given that they're still actively working on the OS, I'm expecting them to make it happen when they are allowed to do so.

Yeah, true, but I don't get the pre-announcement thing... I prefer the Apple approach who don't announce anything without a firm release date.. Even if by release they mean just 18 phones...

Anyway MOS 2.0 was right on schedule... 21st Century on the dot!

I have a feeling that they weren't planning to announce it until later. However, given MOS2's release, and some people getting the feeling that OS4 was starting to lag behind, it makes sense for them to let everyone know that progress has been good. I personally hadn't expected the hardware based compositing etc. this soon.
