Latest from the AmiWest blog: July 11, 2022 - AmigaOS 4 Multicore

Quote:

AmigaOS 4 Multicore at Amiwest 2022. For decades we in the Amiga community have been looking forward to a multicore AmigaOS. After 1000's hours of hard work and solving deep technical challenges the ExecSG team will be ready to show their work to the public. Join us to see the system in action and ask question to Steven Solie, development lead for ExecSG.

Anyone care to take any wagers what the demo will look like?

Will there be any available machines we can buy to make use of this at the show or otherwise?

With the component and parts shortages going on no chance.

@eliyahu


I should bring my 32 core AROS box. :D

Please do! And while you're there you can give a demo of the new FinalWriter.

Let me know and I'll sign you up for a speaking slot. Like Eldee, I'd love to see an updated FW running at the show!

Cheers,
Bill "tekmage" Borsari

@tekmage

Will Final Writer be on sale, if not will a release date be announced? Will A-EON bundle it with the A1222 Plus if it actually gets a mass (niche) launch!

Will it be on sale? Depends on the platform and why would aeon bundle it?

If I show up I’ll have it on display for all to see however I doubt I’ll be speaking.

Because bundling useful software sells hardware, C= UK proved that but people have forgotten since. Workbench is considered a killer app in itself and I wholeheartedly disagree!

Well as of right now they certainly don't have the rights to bundle it.

@terminills

Yeah well C= didn't automatically have the rights to bundle Batman The Movie (Ocean) or Deluxe Paint (EA) either but licensing deals were struck and hardware was sold! The fact that marketing and advertising in addition to bundling is no longer a thing means less AmigaOnes will be sold!



"But that's ok because there's no AmigaOne computers on sale!"

Let me put this another way. No one has approached me and until that happens it won’t be bundled with any machine.

@terminills

Disappointing but I guess they're still chasing after their Libre Office port? So everyone loses! A-EON seems to only consider bundling their own software if they include any at all beyond Enhancer and you struggle to raise awareness of your work (despite it looking good)!

@BigD

Perhaps you could become an A-EON reseller and negotiate a deal with Tim to create your own bundle with Final Writer included.

@Rob

Good idea if I thought that A-EON could supply me enough stock! If AmigaKit are backing away from stocking AmigaONE hardware then it doesn't fill me with confidence. Hopefully a court settlement would bring back some of that.
