Perhaps everyone who tried OS4 had to sign an NDA


I was at the show in Switzerland. But I have nothing to tell. Its more or less OS3.9 for PPC, like MorphOS is OS3.1 for PPC. Its very slow on the Cyberstorm, but I guess thats because its beta and not everything is ported to PPC-code.

What software did they run? What about stability?


Afair he (Jürgen Schober from Pontdesign, Austria) runned the OS and nothing moe, but he presented all tools an prgs comming with the OS. But it was not very impressing for me. BUT he mentioned that not all modules are completly compiled for the PPC and it is still beta.

He had to reboot only one time and he said before that he has to do it if he shows this proggy. (Can't remember any more which).

The menues are now transparent andcan be configured to show up where the pointer is.

The presentaion was on a A4000 desktop with Cyberstorm. The rest of the configutation I missed.

He did IMHO a very good presentaion, but wehat can you expect from a presentation of an OS?

I will buy it despite the slownlyness (?correct?) for my A4000T and my Cyberstorm (if I'll ever see my board again, its currenly at DCE :-(.
But I won't buy an Amiga-One.

Did you get the impression that it is close to a final release version?


Jürgen Schober mentioned a releas date around September2003 for the CSPPC and end of year for the Amiga_One.
