CPU partitioning was mentioned also. Is it possible to boot another OS from AmigaShell including AmigaOS itself (f.ex. one copy for software development and the other for other tasks) ? How to switch between those two OSes if they use the same gfx card ?

The X1000's CPU does have support for virtualization so in theory you could do all sorts of wacky things. That is rather beyond the scope of getting AmigaOS running properly on it first. One step at a time I would say.

| This news so far is really good.
I have not heard mention of any progress on resource tracking or memory protection. Is there ongoing work in these areas?
Thanks |

I was thinking the same.

Work is always ongoing to help improve the system in these areas. The way 3rd party programmers can help themselves is to use the new API functions provided like IExec->AllocSysObjectTags() and IExec->AllocVecTags(). I also wrote a short article on the 3 types of memory in AmigaOS.
These battles are similar to the Forbid()/Permit() battle in that it takes a long time to refactor the existing code base. Old code will continue to work of course but you don't want to ship a product which does not leverage the new features to their maximum advantage.

Any idea when those features might be fully enabled by default in the public version of the OS ?
Is there any work going on in Intuition ?
