oh really

how about this, OS 4 isn't released, this is another announcment.

If the last unfulfilled promise isn't enough, make another promise.

The fact that another announcement was made isn't surprising....there have been announcements from the various owners for going on 10 years now...the fact that yet-another-announcment makes it all better for some people, is simply astonishing.

@mountain_myst,

maybe next year when you are feeling a little down about OS 4 delays, they can announce that they are planning support for over 360 brands of mice and keyboards, and all those blues can be erased.

its time to stop seeking out new partners, and deliver the product.

hey I've got an idea, why don't they redo the kernel based on QNX...imagine the instant technology partner in qnx....and then they can scrap that and go with the linux kernel, imagine all the drivers of linux running on amiga os....

and so it goes.....another change of direction, another excuse for delays...

same old same old.

no Ben Hermans on ann.lu said it does not involve 3d, but they intend to work with SciTech on 3d on certain chipsets, if they have the documentation and they are modern...

in other words, they haven't even started and the 100+ chipsets has nothing to do with 3d drivers.
