Few real Amiga fans will be disappointed, quite the contrary.
They're making their own hardware, custom chips?
If x64 is the future of windows, there is no point porting OS4 to x86.
x64 is the fastest and newest engine. Last edited by Al4 on 26-Jul-2009 at 04:20 PM. Last edited by Al4 on 26-Jul-2009 at 04:18 PM.

Somehow I do have this distinct feeling that at Hyperion thix thread is watched on a regular base and that you sometimes burst out in a howling laughter altogether with all the propositions and speculations being aired here.
Don't tell me I'm wrong, it might ruin my day.

Sorry, Damien, but that is utter rubbish. |
Or is it?

The only limitation is that there are still some OS components (and third-party apps) that have not been cleaned of "int32 addrPtr" type declarations. Since some of them are actually in the API, we have had to leave them in place, rather than change the API and break things. |
Found it! I think. AllocEntry(). Why didn't they just make it retuen a structure ot NILL? |

Thanks for the info. I was actually wondering if the project involved AmigaOS4 at all. But since you did mention Amiga this would still be a safe assumption.

Could it be Hyperion are adding full memory protection to AmigaOS whilst retaining full compatibility and no sandboxing! Now there's a great project! Last edited by Hypex on 26-Jul-2009 at 04:34 PM.

While thats not possible to add full memory whit the current API , it is possible to add more memory protection, there by protection more of the internal structures._________________ http://lifeofliveforit.blogspot.no/ Facebook::LiveForIt Software for AmigaOS |

I hope Hyperion cooperating whit some major player in the market, think if AmigaOS was pushed out on millions of units over night, that be cool, think if they god Atari, Nintendo or Sony working whit them.
I guess before thats possible the Amiga platform has to be refined a bit, maybe they are working on Workbench update. _________________ http://lifeofliveforit.blogspot.no/ Facebook::LiveForIt Software for AmigaOS |

the api not windows or compatibility.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Microsoft_Windows Quote:
After Windows 3.11, Microsoft began to develop a new consumer oriented version of the operating system code-named Chicago. Chicago was designed to have support for 32-bit preemptive multitasking like OS/2 and Windows NT, although a 16-bit kernel would remain for the sake of backward compatibility. The Win32 API first introduced with Windows NT was adopted as the standard 32-bit programming interface, with Win16 compatibility being preserved through a technique known as "thunking". A new GUI was not originally planned as part of the release, although elements of the Cairo user interface were borrowed and added as other aspects of the release (notably Plug and Play) slipped.
Microsoft did not change all of the Windows code to 32-bit; parts of it remained 16-bit (albeit not directly using real mode) for reasons of compatibility, performance, and development time. Additionally it was necessary to carry over design decisions from earlier versions of Windows for reasons of backwards compatibility, even if these design decisions no longer matched a more modern computing environment. These factors eventually began to impact the operating system's efficiency and stability.

Working with Atari? Are you mad?
That's not just sleeping with the enemy, that's getting married to the enemy and having the 2.4 children, cats, dogs and goldfish.
I'm not interested in the OS4/Morphos/AROS wars, I'm still fighting our ancient enemy.

Did you reveal their secret in your signature ? (If you're involved in that project ?) Also there's some pictures from Pianeta 2008. So they're making a netbook ?

My signature is just a joke and has nothing whatsoever to do with this thread. At all. I just want OS4 to support the MPC5121e. _________________ This weeks pet peeve: Using "voltage" instead of "potential", which leads to inventing new words like "amperage" instead of "current" (I, measured in A) or possible "charge" (amperehours, Ah or Coulomb, C). Sometimes I don't even know what people mean. |

| Today's Atari is not the original Atari as is the current Commodore. It has been bought by one company to the next and many of whom for the period changed their business name to Commodore or Amiga because the Commodore / Amiga and Atari has internation name recognition because of the international success of these companies / brand name.
Atari Inc. today if Infogrames
Todays, Amiga Inc. is KMOS Inc. (not the Amino group before hand even though many of the same persons are involved)
Today's Commodore is Yeahronimo (I think now changed hands to some sort of holding company with no real understanding at the moment.)
The point is, it passes hands on a regular basis.
Infogrames chose Atari because Atari has stronger name recognition that is now categorized as LEGENDARY like COMMODORE and APPLE. They are the pioneers of home computing.
Even Amiga has a name recognition that has special status in the computer industry because of its legendary technology.
These brands unlike some actually had grown stronger with time.

We've been talking API the whole time, Read my posts instead of guess. for that matter version of Windows is highly irrelevant.
