I can't believe I have to keep explaining this...

Some betatesters have a version, but thats no gurantee (sp) that it will actully be released. It's just as much existing as MOS1.5, PIOS-PPC, BoXeR, etc....


And I never said otherwise.  Did you see the word available in there? No.

As you seem to enjoy "Facts" so much (see below) here is an actual real fact:-  

There is a version of OS4 that runs on PPC enabled classic systems.

This is contrary to what motorolin originally said:-

No, it will only run on an AmigaOne.


That's all my post was saying.  Nothing else.  If you read more into it, it's because you wanted to.  Not my problem.

Before I go any further, it's probably wise to point out to you, that it'd be a good idea to look up the word "allegedly", it'll save you looking like a pillock again in the future.

Mmmm, now lets get down to the facts:


And then you proceed to give a tiny fact with a huge load of personal assumption, conjecture and spite tacked on the end...

- soon after ACK claims the PowerW^HVixen had gone into production, which (again comparing to his past PR-style) probraly means as little as ordering the PCB for the very first proto.


Oh look! Hilarious! You made a joke about how it's name sounds like masturbation.  If it wasn't for the fact I'm laughing my arse off at the irony of someone who states their location as "Klingon embassy in Germany" making a wanking joke, I'd take pity on you for being pathetic.

The PowerW^HVixen would need a lot of adaption (different IDE-controller, slighly different PCI-setup, requirement of accessing AGA etc), so there is absolutly no chance of a working OS4 on it, even if Hyperion would have gotten one hours after the IRC-chat.


Once again, for someone with all the "facts" you've seemed to have missed that Hyperion have said they aren't doing the port to the PV, that is is being handled completely by Adam himself, who also happens to be on the OS4 dev team.

Clearly there is some chance that there is a working OS4 for it.  How much of a chance?  I don't have a clue, but then I'm not stupid enough to make bold, uninformed statements.

Really, what is your problem?
