"January 13, 2003 - Snoqualmie, WA

Amiga is pleased to publish this first version of the feature set of the up and coming AmigaOS4.0. The document will undergo revision in subsequent issues but because of the massive demand for information made by the public, we have decided to release it in its current state.

You can find a html version here, thanks to Ryu

ya know?  This actually sounds decent.  If it works out this way, I might have to take back some of my previous statements.  Hardware is still an issue, but still....  The PDF does look decent at first read....

Wayne, is there any chance of posting an a plain text version of this pdf file somewhere please? Those with only AmigaOS won't be able to view it otherwise.

Edit: no need.

(This is a pdf to html converter, and a temporary URL. If any of you have problems, go to http://www.samurajdata.se/~cj/ps.html and do it on your own).

Ray Akay has said on ANN that he is working on a HTML version of the
Features list.

He will have it posted sometime today on the Amiga site.
(Depending of course on what Time Zone "Today" is on)
- Am about to go to bed. GMT=0

There is also a no frills PDF version in my hands which is APDF
friendly. I am awaiting permission to pass it on...
YNWA!

Looks impressive on paper (or is that screen?! :lol:), but I want to see it released!

Part of me wants to hope that this means OS4 is nearly ready, but I'm not placing any stock in it. Not that it matters much anyway, I am going to have to wait until the end of the year before I can get my AmigaONE now that I am going to Oz. On the bright side tho, my unforseen delay in getting the A1 means that I can see how good other people think it is and see how many (if any) people/companies start developing for it.

Well, looks good, just make sure that it is ready for release in Q1 2003 Amiga INC & Hyperion, I think you may make a few friends if it is!

Things like Dopus and Arexx would have been nice .. and some kind of printing support (like TurboPrint bundled on MOS) would be useful too. But besides that .. Not a bad list.
