If O/s 4 is going to be another year (or more ?) Then I might as well persuade Paul to part with the £600 he's saved up and put it towards that 52" television I saw in Miller Bros last weekend !!

Will MorphOS be ported to AmigaOne? If yes then when?

Don`t get me wrong, I`m an AmigaOS 4.0 fan (AmiGR knows that really good :-)) but I want to know my options.

I have looked forward to be getting a new Amiga since '93 :-)

Even I, am at the point, where an Apple powerbook begins to look attractive (when a pegasos looks attractive to me I will leave the community ;-)

I have the funds for an AmigaOne G4 and all the extra hardware I would be needing but I won't buy anything Amiga until I have seen and tried OS4 myself.  If release date is pushed that far back I think Hyperion should tell us, no need to wait with that Powerbook then...

Or maybe I should just upgrade my classic with a Mediator/gfx/ethrnet/sound and possibly a Shark, when OS4 becomes available?

Hyperion allthough I understand why you can't comment on every rumour out there, this rumour seems to have more substance (a former emloyee, Ben Yoris). Comments would be very welcome!

It really doesn't matter to me either way.

If and when OS4 is released, I would rather it be bug free than filled with a bunch of patches to get it out fast.

If I have to wait another year or two, so what?
It's already been a very long time.

If OS4 is a good product, I will buy it when it comes out.

I've learned to focus on what is real.
OS4 is real, but it's not ready yet.

Oh well, no biggie.

@Mountain_myst

Feel the same way, it's just that I now have the money ready for the A1.

If it will be a year I certainly won't wait.

I will offcourse get an AmigaOne at some point but who knows when I  will be able to afford one..?

regards
Troels

Maybe he is talking with Yoris to solve this missunderstanding. (As it seems it was really him and stated an oppinion)

Maybe it won`t be ready on time (March) but also not so far as Yoris thought and it is hard to tell that to us because we will thing that they lie.

@mountain_myst,

feel free to wait forever for your magical bug free product, but keep in mind it won't be bug free, they never are, not if they waited 20 years.

They aren't hammering out the final bugs, they don't even have major features implemented yet, it doesn't boot workbench yet.  You better believe it will fly out the door once it looks like anything close to being sellable, they are losing sales by the day.
I don't have insider knowledge, but I don't need it to know that if they wait six months on a complete project, then they are absolute morons....they aren't sitting on a complete project hammering out some arcane bugs!!!! GET REAL!

 as people get their money together they will either buy a pegasos, or they go to another platform...hardly anyone waits around forever with money in the bank on a product that 'who knows when will be finished'

I am so sick of listening at these threads and everyone calling this type of news 'FUD'.

There is absolutely no uncertainty that OS 4 is not a shipping product, and that no one knows when it will ship.  Early next year...maybe, could be NEVER.

I'll tell you what, like many others, I have waited here for years...and I am not saying 'I can wait longer.'  Enough is enough...and it has been enough.

I will not wait longer, when I'm ready to buy in March, I will buy OS 4 if its shipping... if not then a Macintosh....like others have said, if OS 4 is released some day, I may very well buy it...but maybe not, and even if I do, who knows when.

Amiga/hyperion/eyetech have definately missed out on this buying cycle....

I'll stay in the Amiga realm via MorphOS if it is released for Mac's late 2003 as promised, or maybe by UAE, or perhaps not at all.....

but I will not wait any longer, and I'm not the only one.

I wasn't trying to persuade anyone one way or the other.

I've waited this long, and I will wait longer if I must.

That's all.

You do what you want to do.
Makes no difference to me.

Couldn't sleep and wondered what's going on. Then surfed here and found this thread.

I really hope this is not true. I have done my part of waiting. If there is nothing to buy, I begin to look alternatives but definitely will buy OS 4 when it finally arrives.

Who said it would be ready in March?
Amiga, Inc. said they would have the launch of OS4 at CeBit in March. Does launch mean shipping or released or finished? Or does it mean that they will have a fairly decent beta that they plan to show off at the show?

Relax guys, this message is being taken far too extreme.  It was a warning due to a french reseller claiming that AOS4 would be shipping in March, when it's release date would be announced in march.  A simple clarification to try and not cause a major situation later on.

AOS4 is a major project, and is near a year from completion at least from the way things look.  Don't expect anything else for a long time now.

Till then, please feel free to troll.


Obviously you do. Like I said, someone claiming to be Ben Yoris and have insider information is hardly proof of anything. Now stop feeding the rumour mongering.
