AmigaOS 4.0 Pre-release arrives!!
« on: June 04, 2004, 02:07:39 PM »
AmigaOS 4.0 is arriving through letter boxes all over the world!


On June 3rd 2004, the first AmigaOS 4.0 pre-release CD'shave started to reach end users. This marks the end of a long wait for over 1000 AmigaONE owners.

Congratulations to Hyperion and all involved in bringing this about, and continuing the survival of the Amiga platform! The Pre-release is a major mile stone.

It has also been confirmed that the Pre-release will be shipping with all new AmigaOne purchases.
The REAL BOBSON - accept no immitations!

I'm curious to read the first unbiased review. Someone like Coder would be perfect.

Come on Coder, i know you are reading :-)

Let me borrow an A1 and OS4, and I'll write a review!

Thanks. Oh I will give detailed minute by minute reports and later on a full report (no one wants to wait 1/2 weeks for a report). And whatever more is needed.

Only prob is that I am in Thailand and my cd is not in the mail yet. The fastest I ever got something from Holland (location dealer) is 1 week. But that was in Bangkok. Now I am somewhere in the jungle and I am sure it will ad some days to the sending. If it does get out today/tomorrow it could arrive next weekend. I think this is not the right time to say that sometimes I waited for 3 weeks for something to arrive.

Check it out - I found the ass-end!

I agree that it would be nice to read an unbiased review, but can that really happen? I mean, can you really be unbiased if you've been waiting for this day for something like 10 years?  ;-)

I'm almost disappointed by the release, because I was so close to giving up on the Amiga, and now I'm there waiting for it to happen again... I got better things to do ya know!  :-x

@Rogue

Actually, a review from someone as close to the developments as you are would probably be quite entertaining, and put a whole new angle to reviews. Please go ahead, you know you want to :-D
