Me, I see it as having to pay for an in-line service pack in the 4.1 chain, and then I'd have to pay for 4.2 again.  There's still bugs in 4.1 Update 6, just like there was in u5, u4, etc. - except it seems this time existing users are expected to pay for what to them, isn't a software revolution, but a service pack.  

NOTE: AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition will include new features that were previously going to be released in 4.2, i.e., features that were never going to be released for free to OS 4.1 users.

Personal view; I don't mind paying e30 to ensure my hobby is supported.

Hopefully more people will feel this way.

It seems strange to pay for things twice, and is probably what is concerning some users.


I don't see it as paying for things twice, especially at the low price that OS 4.1 FE will be sold for. I guess that you could call it paying to get access to those features sooner.

Don't worry, OS 4.2 will be worth its price based on the new features that it will bring (i.e., features that won't be part of OS 4.1 FE)
