Top 10 reasons why AOS4 has been so delayed:

[Im>bE]

10: Before handing it to Hyperion,
    Amiga.inc misspelled "AOS4.src", so that it said "BOS4.src".

9: They kept testing the early versions on winUAE.

8: Hyperion misunderstood, and tried to make a game out of it.

7: Betatesters kept complaining on the lack of software for it.

6: 0.01 % of Hyperions time and money is not all that much...

5: Inexplainable and frightening deaths among the Hyperion crew
   after they killed the Guru...

4: Bill Gates 'invested' in Hyperion.

3: It took alot of time to copy'n'paste the 3.9 source.

2: Too many problems when it was time to fit it onto a DD diskett.


...And the number one reason AOS4 has been so delayed:

Amiga.inc sold "Amiga OS Club" coupons to Hyperion,
telling them they would get the source + a "Club AOS4" T-Shirt.

4: Bill Gates 'invested' in Hyperion.

Wrong! You misspelled a word yourselves:

Bill Gates NEVER invests. He just infests! :-P

As for all the summed up reasons: nicely conjoured up but tsk, tsk, tsk!

Dude! AOS4.0 has been surrounded by "negativity" for ages man... at last it seems it may be coming out (well, it is) and your still having a dig at it man!

Its gotta be about time we had some positive direction towards the amiga! (Its been a long time....)

[drHirudo]

AmigaOS 4.0 wasn't delayed. It simply had changed release date several times, that's it.

[bloodline]

OS4 has not been delayed, it's right on schedule, ready in two more weeks.

It's so easy to criticise, isn't it? To borrow a quote,

"Any fool can condemn and criticise. And most fools do."

[TheMagicM]

Given that he did not use any of the "official" reasons (which he could have), this was clearly intended as a joke.

Lets all just look towards the new Amiga OS. Let sleeping dogs lie as they say, y'know its taken a long time and hopefully that is going to equate into a great OS. From what i have seen of it its class anyway (and that was with no apps lol)!

Roll on NextGenAmiOS!

as with Letterman's bit's, the funniest one is generally #3.

3: It took alot of time to copy'n'paste the 3.9 source.

now that OS4 is about to be unleased, let's all have a good laugh (at the jokes, not the OS) and enjoy it (both)!

David Letterman said that?
