Sascha "SieGeL" Pfalz has written a small review about his first experiences with the Developer Pre-Release version of AmigaOS4. For help and advice by developers and beta-testers AmigaworldNET has set up a new IRC channel. Some first customized screenshots by an user: Screenshot 1 Screenshot2

Good day to all Amigans! :-D

It's worth visiting that article just to read the comments page to read some non-Amiga opinions of OS4. It seems to get quite a hammering from some people, such as this:

I can't imagine buying obscure hardware just to escape from windows.

and this:

no decent browser, video editing software, no IDE's, no UTF, no Office package. And that's just a top of the moutain

Unfortunately, this is how the Amiga is viewed by non-Amiga fans.

It's an interesting article, but it's text-only with no pictures.

Steve.

You read that too huh?
Yeah, kind of reminded me some of the other threads here? :-)


Don't worry, in the end, there was one guys who's interested and want one. A1. :-D
Who knows, he might visit this site too for forums. A new Amigan in the making? :-D


Good day to all Amigans! :-D

Nice review.

AH! And this is not the Amiga is viewed by non-Amiga fans. I've been at The Webbit show in Italy, thousands of people drooling over os4 and A1, all non-Amiga users.

Someone can love it, someone instead not.

Yeah, an most of these who didn't like it turn to be arrogant ones, who love to shout and try to kill any enthusiasm. Usually I don't mind such persons neither in real life, neither on the web.

It's like saying if someone doesn't have the same sexual orientation as you, he is definitely wrong. But from his POV you are the wrong one. And who define what's wrong and what's not? The crowd? I don't think so.

It's all just static. Most whiners would never leave their chosen platform whether it be Windows, Linux or Mac. The companies in this market are not dummies, they know they are playing to a very small market and they know the platforms are lacking alot of things. Hyperion knows this with OS4 and Genesi knows this with MOS. Right now mostly the only ones buying is the hardcore Amiga lovers like myself.

Luckily there seems to be a growing mutual respect between Amigaish camps. There seems to be an overall ceasefire in the forums, this can only be seen as good.

This comes as a surprise?  Hell, even some Amiga fans feel that way.

Yes I know, I'm one of them! :-)

[EDIT] Just my two quotes above, not all the comments on that page! ;-)

of course, once the instigators of most of that nonsense are silent, there is almost no one fanning the fires. so the fires have gone out.

those persons cared more about their personal vendettas than understanding how humans are affected by certain psychological flash-points.

I'm still in the process of reading this review, but the fact that the installation appears to be problem free is quite good news. we can now move on to the fun part: discovering how much fun this OS works!!
Woo Woo!!!
