I hope House of Audio has better security than the guys in Scotland (or was it Ireland) who pressed the CD's of Halflife for Valve Software. Some punk at that place stole a copy and was on IRC bragging about it the first day.

Stamp out evil pirates!  :pissed:

I can understand why people might want to steal a copy of HalfLife, but AmigaOS 4.x pre-release?

Gimme a f**king break ;)

Even if Pre-release CD was leaked out, only A1 owners could use it.

i wouldn't steal it because that's tacky, but I'd like to have a copy of AO4 (if i had or could borrow an A1). I'd like to see how it works.

heh.. wouldn't it be funny if the company accidently pressed a CD of elevator music and sent it out instead of OS4? :-D

@Darth_X

I think the elevator people would be a bit confused as what to do with a copy of AOS4.0! :-)

Mike - OS 4 is included in the cost of the Amiga One IIRC.

Early Bird Owners get it as they have essentially already paid for it.

Jep ... All AmigaOne include license for Amiga OS 4.0 ... So if you have bought an AmigaOne you have also bought AmigaOS 4.0 :-D

Duh! That's right forgot about that, I was wondering about if we could buy it seperately just to take a look at what's under the hood, so to speak. Oh well.

@Glaucus
 Still you'd need an A1 to look under the hood. That is unless you like reading documentation.


I wonder if my coupon, er, Club Amiga Membership, ah... CAM Subscription is still valid. :-?

Of course it will leak out. There is no question about it. Many resourcing hours for MOS developers :)

Yes!  This is great news to know that the Pre-release CD is being sent to the Dealers.  Just maybe. . . maybe by the end of the month I will have it :)))))
