OS4, When ?
« on: February 17, 2003, 02:07:16 PM »
Don't suppose anyone knows when OS4 is comming out ?  I've had my cash ready for ages and want to get it up and running on my A1200(t):

April the 1st perhaps  :-D

Nobody knows. I will hazard a guess and say not for a good while yet. Optimistically, I'd say summer. Pessimistically, I'd say early 2004. But I have about as much idea about it as you do.

Well, the last I heard about the subject said  sometime in late March.  I believe I remember hearing something about it at AmiWest this year, but they probably have made statements to the contrary since.  I.E., "when it's ready."

@ohno

If you had checked things out before posting someone had told to you about the fact that KDH has been selling those OS4:s since last september or so. and allways 'release date' has been just couple weeks away. So this much be their 10th release-date  by now.

Actually it would not be bad, if they had something to sell. But based on whatever information I have collected it's not too likely to happen now. But we'll see.

If it takes till 2010.. then Amiga can tie in the AmigaOS4 release with the Winter2010 Olympics in Vancouver BC Canada (2 hours drive from AmigaInc headquarters).

Now that would be COOL to see!!!

If I was you I'd give up on OS4.  I doubt it will be out this year, at least not in any usable form.  And if it comes out later than that, there won't be any users left to sell it to.

I gave it until the end of last year before giving up and selling my PPC Amiga 4000.  Ben Hermans promised OS4 for CSPPC before the end of 2002, so I set that as my deadline.  

AInc said CeBit will be the big relaunch of the Amiga desktop platform and OS4, but now it appears they havent even booked a stand...

AInc is dead in the water.  They haven't got two pennies to rub together and no products to sell to generate revenue.

Stop waiting and start doing.  Make a clean break - get yourself a nice Pegasos and MorphOS and start having fun again.  It's real, its working, and people are using it right now.

Sure, some people will tell you to wait "just a few more weeks" and that Pegasos isn't a "real Amiga" and that MorphOS isn't AmigaOS.  Well, if you want to wait forever just so you can have the "Amiga" name on your case then go ahead.

Nice Amiga. Nice wb but you should use the same iconset for all your icons:-)

if you want visit www.iksnet.it and then click on "AB-Glow Icons Support Page" on the left, you can download a big collections of icons in glow format.

Ah!
OS4 will be relased 23/04/2132  :-P

I wouldn't give up on OS4.0 at all. I'm sure it is just round the corner, it just happens to be a very long street!

:-)

I like the sound of OS4.0, the feature list looks good. But I don't have any pressing reasons to aquire it instantly. I can get by with my old 3.9 tower and my PC for the time being - At least until OS4 finally arrives.
