Too lazy to research, anyone know if this is going to be a free update for current users or if it'll require a purchase?

Woo, a brinkster site, it must be totally official and in no way parody :p

I noticed several mentions of "Zico" on that page. Did Shaun create it? If so, his web design skills have improved since the Zorro VII days :lol:

Is there more current information that indicates things have changed? If so I've like to see it. There isn't anything like this on Hyperion's own website, and I've heard from many that the plans for OS4 haven't changed since it's inception.

If it's down to Hyperion then as with OS4.0 you'll be lucky to get one update before being left in the lurch... :madashell:

Of course there is. 4.1 is more recent than that! Come on, this is a very lame joke.:banana:
