Anyone happy with OS 4.1? Is it much to write home about?

Im surprised there hasnt been much talk around OS4.1 these days.

So how much are we talking here?

OS4.x for Classics doesn't run classic software (that bangs the hardware) meaning you need an OS3.x dual boot system.

The new SAM hardware is over priced and underpowered.

Die hard Amiga users with too much money will probably love both the SAM and OS4.1 :-)

On the plus side it comes in a nice box.

Wowzer! That is a lot. I wonder if anyone has tried getting it to work under emulation?

True. But man it would be nice to have. I am impressed by the screenshots. I take it compatibility with old KS 1.3 -> 3 SW is not exactly going to be great.

I would have been happier with a 1Ghz version at that price though. Maybe coming soon?

I reckon it might be a keeper. Im cutting out a coffee a day until i save up enough for one

I'm still getting mighty tempted to buy one.

I know that the cost of the hardware relative to the price back in the day is far cheaper. Bang per buck is clearly going to be better. I remember that the requirements to run software were far lower than its PC counterparts where a Mb of RAM really went far. Is it still the case now with 4.1?
