AmigaOS 4.1 Update 4 News

If I buy OS4.1 today, will 4.2 be a free upgrade (Like MOS 2.8 to 3.0 will be) or will I have to shell out another 150 notes to get it?

Anyone know?

I don't think anyone knows, but I imagine you'd have to pay up again I'm afraid.

The best place to ask isn't here but on the Hyperion forums themselves, they'll know. It does make sense to offer a free upgrade if you buy after a particular date, I think.

Thanks, I will ask over there. A free upgrade would be nice as i'm only considering buying OS4 to develop for it.

The first case, even Microsoft admit:
NOTE: This fix does not correct the problem for the retail version of Windows 95
If - like me - you had the retail version you had to buy Win 98.
And Win98SE was a paid-for upgrade, which you needed. I remember a lot of USB hardware saying "Windows 98 SE only" because it was basically borked (or to put it charitably - very basic) in the original 98.

In both cases you had to pay. I know, because I was a K6-2 owner with USB devices!

I had the same problem so I switched to Linux full time.
