Interview with Ben Hermans revealing current status of AOS4

[MarkTime]

Thanks for the link SlimJim, that is *much* improved communication from Hyperion.  I will give credit where credit is due, thats the kind of thing they need to do...

Do you think they will be FUD'd for that...hehe, maybe, but I'll tell ya what, they got FUD'd worse for the silence--this type of communication is an improvement.

But with that said, the lact of 68k emu integration...which was the main feat OS 4.0 needed to accomplish...the fact that hasn't happened is a huge concern.

and its a legitimate concern too. Given enough time, I'm sure hyperion could complete the task someday....hopefully they'll have enough time.

Given what they said about the rights to port AmigaOS to other platforms if Amiga,Inc. goes bankrupt, and what with their codebase organized in a CVS tree, and ready to go....

 :pint:

Here's hoping for a quick bankruptcy!

@Darth_X

Exactly!

Its the same old drill you know....AOS4 is always a couple months away.  Keeps everyone waiting, don't ya know.  And it works remarkably well.

So well in fact, that if you want to maintain any credibility at all, you have to concede against the mountain of optimism that another 'interview' creates....

then a few days later you start hammering away at their credibility again.

Same old same old, until the product is released.
I want the product to be released, but who knows when that will be.

If Hyperion knew the answer, they could say, but they don't know...and its unknown...all this March, April speculation, is once again.....made up by the faithful, unconfirmed by the people really in the know--Hyperion.

NO ONE SAID MARCH OR APRIL FOLKS, right now that is JUST WISHFUL THINKING.  How many years of wishful thinking before some of you develop some skepticism???

geez....sigh....I loved redrumloa's quote in another thread....these are the days of our lives...

@teotwin,

after you mentioned it, I could see the 'M'....before that it was probably working on me at a subconscious level :-)

do you see my avatar, its a boy throwing a bird into a bears mouth....people don't seem to get that at first.
