Interview with Ben Hermans revealing current status of AOS4

[Darth_X]

It doesn't matter what Amiga Inc. or Hyperion do. The fudders will be here.

Glad I'm not a fudder. But I always do have plenty of questions to ask! :-D

@ Marky_D_Sahd

The image, I mean. The face itself I've had to work with for over 40 years.

Indianna Jone stunt double look? :-D

[Darth_X]

I can't even imagine firing up an AmigaOne with OS4 running on that baby.

How it must feel to see workbench boot up in native ppc.

Man, I can daydream about this for ages.
Hope I don't have to though

We ALL want to see this.

We've seen MPEG videos online of MorphOS in action on Pegasos systems. You can download pre-release video from video games in development for consoles.

How about some videos showing AmigaONE's booting up into AmigaOS4 workbench? :-D

Almost makes me want amiga inc to go bust, then we may have the possibility to move the platform to already widely spread hardware (eg: x86/64bit hammer etc etc) and increasing the possible audience hugely. IMO it will never be widely accepted by the wider/public community while its stuck on expensive obsolete hardware.

FUD?




By the way, cute avatar. Do the empty boing balls signify anything? :-D

@SlimJim

you don't want to know what I had to do to get a picture of my avatar

Is that from DUNE? :-D

[Darth_X]

@teotwin

Yeah, the empty spheres work and form the M well :-D



Nah, the  'FUD?' comment was for...

So far, Hyperion have NOT proved that AmigaOS4 is in alpha and actually boots up to workbench. Ben Hermans posting to a message board is not proof.

So.. if AmigaOS4 is for real, I want REAL proof by then end of March. March was mentioned as the launch (but not release or shipping date) of AmigaOS4.

It doesn't matter to me if OS4 is finished, or shipping, or even completely bug-free, or even crashes occasional.. All that I will accept.

The challenge:
An MPEG video posted on the internet showing AmigaOS booting up into a workbench screen with functioning mouse and graphic user interface..

That's all I want to see.. some proof that this system exists and works. :-D

@hnl_dk

I am so NOT a jealousd MorphOS fan. Sure, I have an interest in Pegasos & MorphOS. I have an interest in all kinds of new technology.

And Pegasos & MorphOS are VERY exciting.. a new computer platform & OS!

You assume that I have no interest in AmigaOS4, but that's not true. You don't know me.

When AmigaOS4 becomes functional and working, I hope to see it up and running at a tradeshow such as Cebit.

You have to love those announcements though, i might go and order a Amijoe card and a Boxer board and must get one of those Amiga 5000 machines like those announcements claimed in the past.

BOXER is selling here.. http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/products/boxer/
