dunno, but we need it for personal paint 7.3, the new video players supporting the new radeonHD driver, and it will be the baseline requirement for libreoffice and the new AOS4 octamed soundstudio port that A-EON announced at the show.

so things are moving in a positive way. :)

It's really odd that so much software coming from A-EON will require 4.1FE considering that I keep hearing about this big split and continuing bad blood between Hyperion and A-EON.

You make it sound like they are working together but surely the good people of Moobunny can't be wrong.

My A1XE still has OS4.0 on it.
Will I be able to buy this and install it for ~30 Euros?
If so it's an absolute bargain and I'll be dusting off the old machine again.

Good news regardless.


That's what the official press release from Hyperion says.

"AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition requires NO previous version of AmigaOS 4.x and is a stand-alone product, quite possibly the most affordable version of AmigaOS ever to be released."

"Suggested retail price is 29,95 EUR (SRP includes German VAT, may vary depending on your location)."

As I recall they can only number up to AOS5 so if they only call it a new version every .1 they can only upgrade it9 more times! They must charge for every .05 or so.

There doesn't seem to be limitation or conditions relating to what version numbers they can use.  

The only part relating to version numbers that I can see (I may have missed something) is part d. under definitions.
Quote
d.  "AmigaOS 4" means the Operating System developed by Hyperion and based in part on the Software, including without limitation the Software Architecture of the Software as described in the Documentation, in any version (irrespective of version numbering, e.g., AmigaOS 5).


Perhaps my interpretation is incorrect but it seems to imply that they can used version numbers 5 and beyond.

Will the Installation media have all versions of the OS on it or will we have to pay for separate Pegasos II, BPPC, A1 versions?


I'm pretty sure it's the same as before so you'd have seperate versions for each platform but it is DRM free so if for example you owned 2 Sam440's you can install it on both systems without restriction.
