OS 4.1 Update 3 Released

[commodorejohn]

When did USB 2.0 support become mainstream for the rest of the world?  Wasn't that around 1998?

Hah, I wish. I've had 1.1-only machines as recent as 2004 (though that was a laptop.)

To be fair Commdore used to do the exact same thing.  I think their term was the programmes were not "system legal" and leave it at that.

Patches would then be forthcoming or not.

There's a lot to be said for that policy, actually - if you've ever read about what an amazing amount of cruft Windows has built up over the years trying to maintain compatibility with software that doesn't quite stick to the standard, you can see the reasoning there. Inconvenient, to be sure, but on the other hand it goes a long way towards keeping the OS lean and mean.

(However, I have no idea to what extent AOS4 reflects that or not.)

Out of curiosity, what exactly is your interest in the project? I only ask because you only seem be interested in slating it and everybody involved with it, whatever their capacity, at every possible opportunity.

I'll offer that my interest in the subject is because people here on a forum I frequent like to talk about it, and consequently I like to join in on the conversation. I don't think you should have to use something in order to have or express an opinion on it.
