Amiga OS4 & CeBit 2003

[Darth_X]

anyway the tactics genesi uses are mostly the reason why i am not choosing them.

*perks up* Tactics?

i have lost many and that was DCE/P5

Could you be more specifc?

but when and why, time will tell.

March Cebit or bust?

Could you ask fleecy a question for me?

@HMetal

You're in Canada now too? :-D


I forget.. are you a Phoenix Developer Consortium member?

@KSK

Perhaps that was meant as a joke.

Nope. No joke. I am serious. I want know what happened.

Surely everybody knows that those were meant to be AmigaDE features and then later to be used in some (much later) AmigaOS release.

Yes. I know. However, would not much of the prototyping for this system be coded in C? Note that C could be compiled into TAO/DE with a special compiler.

In the same respect, the C source could be recompiled and used in AmigaOS4 by Hyperion.

Some time ago I read that the developer of the AmigaDE audio system no longer works for AI, so no hope for improvements on that area.

Right. And from what I heard the system was completed.. so where is it?

You don't throw away a years worth of development work on *important* components of the operating system do you?

That's purely idiotic!

[Darth_X]

I have always been in Canada

cool.

yes I am a Phoenix member with a signed Phinixi NDA, though they don't treat me like one. I guess it's because I work for "the competition

A lot of 'trust' was damaged by AmigaInc's movements.





I thought Genesi was the 'competition' ?  :-D

[Darth_X]

No, these services and features are coded in VP as far as I know, not C or any other language

That would Not be good. A quick look at TAO's website...TAO intent

"intent is a binary portable platform, independent of programming language, operating system and processor, so the content, which can be written in C, C++,"...


Developers with vast experience in C/C++, but little knowledge of intent, would be wise to first prototype your application in C/C++, then later if needed optimise it for  VP asm.
