Is eBay up for sale!?
Oh wait, this is an Amiga site. False alarm. Never mind. Last edited by Hypex on 16-Mar-2018 at 12:39 PM.

Lol
I wish Hyperion would sell up and let OS4 go to a company that can support it... _________________ A1200 ACA1232 128MB Indivison MkIICr Elbox empty Power Tower RPi3 Emulating C64 ZX Atari PS BBC Wii with Amiga emulation Vampire v4 SA |

I see what you mean. I don't like the way OS4 has been fractured into a base installer, then graphic driver and now an extras pack. In reality all three are needed for a fully working system, unless you are running a poor mans OS4 in an emulator. Now I agree developers need to be paid. But to the outside world I think this looks bad. Why is there not one complete product? Look at MorphOS, a direct competitor to AmgaOS4, and how it provides the full OS in one package. And it's developers are praised for not only providing a stable OS but for their support as well, at least when I read about it. It becomes obvious, even fron an outside look, that the OS is fraught with problems due to internal politics. People, pride and selfishness. The Commodore legacy continues. This shouldn't be. I'm at the point where I think all this combined is an insult to the Amiga computer and people that started it all. Even if the orginal wasn't perfect. What goes on under the hood of a company is none of the users business, they have a right to manage it as they see fit, as long as they manage all those people to do well on the end product. But here, OS4 has been fractured into different components, by different companies. Not taking hardware into account. I just think this doesn't look good at all and complicates the process. Now there is FE and extra OS components or renamed replacements. How about they combine that under one banner, something like AmigaOS4 FE SE, EE, or FE. Confusing letters aside, Special, Extra or Full Edition. Basic to best. Priced accordingly. Done. Last edited by Hypex on 16-Mar-2018 at 01:58 PM.

I would just like to see some progress again. With all the delays it has just made me more nervous of investing in OS4 now. The vampire seem like a better route to go the main thing lacking on all Amiga OS versions is a full working modern web browser and office suit. Plus advanced printer support once these 3 things have been solved then we will truly have a nice working platform whether its Aros Morphos or Amiga os4.x and even OS3.x 68K
R.I.P A1222 I think the chance of a resurection has passed....
