Are Amiga Inc's pockets deep enough to fight every possible way of getting around their claimed right to OS4? |
Are you sure you are not confusing having "deep pockets" with having "something IN those pockets"? Heh!

"The suggested retail price for OS4.1 is Euro 105 + local VAT / taxes." 1 - This price for those who have already OS4? 2 - For Sam with OS4.1 no news? _________________ my A1="Os4", Sam ="OS4.1" Now Amiga 1200! |

Windows PC sellers purchase or develop BIOS etc. to run Windows on their systems. What prevents someone from developing software like a BIOS that will support OS4? |
You still have to have a license to run windows, regardless of what the bios is capable of.

No support for Classic is forecasted: this is a final cut, said ACube. Supporting only new gen machines enables focusing on new features. |
How many NON-classic PPC Amiga's exists? Sounds like a small market for OS4.1 to start with?Last edited by bitman on 13-Jul-2008 at 07:17 PM.

| Still waiting for a good video or two. I saw the youtube videos, but the screen was faded. Not being able to understand Italian, that meant that those videos just looked like a bunch of guys standing and walking around behind a long table, with a washed-out projector screen behind them.

I have uploaded three small videos on youtube. The quality is poor because I used my cell-phone. Sorry for that.
First Video This video shows some of the features of the new HW accelerated composition engine that will be included in AmigaOS 4.1 In this video you can see the transparent windows and a small window containing a thumbnail of the WB screen that is updated in real time
Second Video This video shows some of the features of the new HW accelerated composition engine that will be included in AmigaOS 4.1 In this video you can see the zoom utility. Activating the titlebar of the utility and holding down the right mouse button you can zoom and navigate in real time the WB screen using the scroll wheel to increase or decrease the zoom factor.
Third Video The new lister can display a miniature of the file/drawer Icon (size is fully configurable and can also be bigger than the original). The window can have stripes of different colors to help follow long lines of text, column headers can be clicked to change sort order and you can have accurate description of file types thanks to integration with deficons. All those aspects are fully configurable with Workbench Preference window.
Just two more words about the demo I held. For all the duration of the demo I worked using Virtual Memory. At the beginning I copied a 780Mb file in RAM DISK (my A1 has only 512 MB of phisical RAM). If I remember correctly It took about 12-15 seconds (from a SFS partiton to RAM).
I then showed all the things you can see on the videos and much more: - I opened a PDF file and browsed some ot its content - I played a video (from one of my partitions) with DvPlayer (it was the same 780MB file I copied in ram) - I launched Cygnix and AbiWord - I launched Tunenet with a couple of skins
All of this with no visible slowdown. My A1 is equipped with a G4@1GHZ (one of those repaired and upgraded by ACube Systems) with a Radeon 9000 PRO video card.
BTW, I forgot to show the new ASL file requester.... It's now using reaction and has some of the functionality of the new text mode lister.

Understood. I have a copy of OS4 and will have a copy of OS 4.1 when it is actually released. What's to prevent running it on an A1 clone (PPC hardware with the necessary "BIOS")?? Hyperion may be prevented from licensing the OS to a hardware manufacturer, but what's to stop them from licensing the copy-protection software needed to run the OS. The copy-protection isn't part of the OS and could be applied to another OS or program.
If OS 4.1 is released for use on my µA1 and I choose to run it on other hardware, that's my decision and not Hyperion's or the hardware provider's._________________ X1000 with 2GB memory & OS4.1FE |

Thanks for that. A video taken by a phone is better than nothing. I like the look of OS 4.1.

Bump. Anyone else? IIRC, ACube were going to talk about their future plans at this event. So what are they?
