The *ONLY* reason it's labeled "OS5" is to off-set all the work Hyperion did on OS4. Microsoft made us do it...what a crock.

This should be a point for *EVERYONE* here to realize that there is no hope for Amiga Inc. They have no interest in us, as a market base and want the Amiga, in name only.

Supposedly, it's a full AmigaOS running over top a host OS. It boots up AmigaOS and runs the software. It's small enough and fast enough since, it's binary not interpreted to take on JAVA as an execution environment.

Uh, what makes you think it's not interpreted?  Ok, /if/ the scenario is correct (which I doubt is true) of:

hardware - OS - AA VM - AOS - app

you're still running in a VM -- you've just inserted yet another layer into the mix...  For example in Java you'd have:

hardware - OS - Java VM - app

So, yes, I guess the app is "not interpreted", it's running "natively" on the AOS, but, then, the entire AOS is running interpreted on the real OS.  Pretty stupid design.

Now take it to the next step as it will apparently load Workbench as well. So it's an AmigaOS Kernel that can run on virtually any OS and potentially any hardware with a small boot Kernel.

Uh, yeah, ok...  I'll believe that when I see it.

In a similar vein, performance of MOL is greatly reduced because it can't access hardware resources directly and has to use an emulation layer. I'd imagine there's also a performance hit with AROS Hosted vs. AROS native (the AROS guys can correct me on this), and with Windows running through Parallels vs. Windows running natively. Even old DOS apps running through Windows 95 are slower.


From joe user pov I think on can hardly figure the hit (gui wise), probably on benchmarks or on intensive apps... but it been a while since I ran AROS in linux, can be wrong on my judgment.

All the developers that worked on OS4 must be really pissed! And all devs that have made keeping the Amiga alive all these years allways carrying a vague hope that the platform would be kept alive and raise again someday.. so much work. I fell sorry for them, specially the ones that coded stuff for OS4! At least the little thing I've been coding as a hobby (various stuff but mostly a C serialization library) will be relatively easy to make it multiplatform, if I ever finish it that is:) I probably won't be able to make any money out of it but hey...

Now I see what Bill McFraud meant when he said Amiga OS 5 would be even better than Mac OS X. I'm going to get rid of it and replace it with Amiga OS 5 and...

What? Oh, so Amiga OS 5 actually *needs* Mac OS X to run on my Mac? And the Mac OS X version of Amiga OS 5 isn't out yet. Oh, OK. I'll bet it'll be worth the wait, though..

;-)


Maybe Amiga will give a suggested config of Yellow Dog Linux as the host OS instead on you Mac!  lol  With OS X listed only as a possibe, but not suggested setup?   :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

More and more I'm really convinced that if Amiga has a real future, it is AROS...

So Amiga Anywhere 2 is the new name for Amiga OS 5 because they wont be allowed to use the name Amiga OS however that site (from ZeBeeDee) seems to imply the full name is Amiga Anywhere OS.

Has anyone been bothered to ask Bill if the new Amiga Anywhere will  work on an Amiga??

hardware - OS - AA VM - AOS - app


If this is the case then it's not much better that running UAE and UAE has the advantage of being free.
