the AmigaOS 4.0 Features have been revealed!

[Coder]

Exec is the kernel of the AmigaOS and is currently written in 68K assembly.

I can see what newbee means. If you read it like that it gives the impression that it is written in 68k. Offcourse it is not. If it would say, Exec is the kernel used in previous OS versions and is written in 68k. If you are not really brought up to speed on all the info it sure gives you the impression that it is written in 68k. I think everyone agrees with me this is the truth.

OS 4 will include a simple tool which allows the user to back-up files by burning them to an ISO 9660 CD which also allows for exchanging data between systems)

I like this feature.

I am sure Ibrowse is a full version. It would not be a good idea to ship demo software with it.

I just think there should be a fully working browser coming along with OS4.

I think there is a confusing part, when they say:
"it is written in 68k Assembly " they always talk about the Exec of previous AmigaOS's. Not about ExecSG wich is the new Exec for OS4.

What we are doing now is adding "virtual addressing".

That is a great thing. :-) We sure do not want a crashy system.

@jd997uk

ps I mailed Ben for clarification on a couple of other points. I'll post up later as and when he approves the wording to ensure that it doesn't add to further confusion.

Looking forward to that. :-)
