Wow,
After reading some of this, kinda makes me wonder how and when I stopped waiting for OS4. I just remember the days when OS 3.5 and 3.9 got released. Those times were great, but after a year or two without much release of anything else, I just stopped.
Also what seems a bit odd is that something was worked on for awhile, and then they decide not to release it until there is adequate hardware released to run it on......
It will be extremely difficult to convince someone to spend hundreds of dollars on a motherboard which doesn't have the newest hardware or features on it and having an operating system that cant even complete the everyday task of students, like a good word processor and a web browser...
OS4 through my eyes is more of a hobby. If you enjoy amiga, then we will use it. I myself would like to get OS4 and use it, but for a primary use, highly unlikely. I spent $116 for a biostar board and a 3000+ Sempron 64 cpu, and this thing just rocks for the cheap price...
You never know. If Amiga had a good web browser and some good office applications, it could slowly make its way in the home of students who just want to use a computer to chat with their friends using a webcam or play some multiplayer games.
This isnt to flame me on. I am just a 20yr old college student who used an amiga when I was around 8.
Amiga is great, but cmon. Use Mac OS X or get a Windoze computer and rock out until OS4 comes.
Great games are World of Warcraft, Unreal Tournament 2004, Counter Strike, etc... So many great games. Thought Windows has all this software, at heart Amiga will still be much better because I like how fast it loads to the workbench and I have more freedom instead of messing with thousands upon thousands of registries lol.
Who knows, maybe OS4 will see the day of light, maybe not. Just keep the spirit of amiga though we are not happy with them. :-)
