:-o :-o :-o Did I read this correctly :-o :-o :-o

The main attraction of the show was the AmigaOne hardware and the Amiga OS 4.0 demo. ACK Software Controls from Niagara Falls was very busy showing off the new Amiga hardware and answering questions.

I did get a few minutes to try out Amiga OS 4.0. The OS looked and felt very much like OS 3.9. You can now drag windows outside the Workench borders and you have greater control over the look of Workbench with enhanced preferences and AmiDock. There was also a new preference utility for USB ports. Unfortunately, that's about all the time I had to try the OS. All I can say is that OS 4.0 is looking great!

So a OS4 Beta is "out there" and is usable enough to be let loose on the public for playing with.....

My goodness there really is a god..

I am expecting this was only on a PPC "enhanced" classic Amiga, I'm niot sure I could cope with too much good news (like it was running on a A-One)

I would expect that the final release of OS4.0 to be PPC only - now, I don't speak with any inside knowledge on the fact, but thats what I suspect.

Now I don't have a ppc card for any of my amigas, but you know what? I'll be happy to put them aside and get the AmigaOne-XE G4 system.

I can't wait! Yeeee---haw!

Thank our lucky stars! The OS4.0 demo system boots!

yeah right that was dos shell dam 640k limit . that demo they are showing was done ages ago .they havent even gotten any further. It doesnt act near as well or as stable as the orginal Amiga os .It shouldnt its not Amiga in any sense of the word.

@THEONE

dos shell dam 640k limit .

Err dude, I think you are getting confused with an OLD OS on an INTEL platform.

No other OS or plaform has a 640K limmit ????

Now what was it that Bill Gates said about never needing more than 640K ????

Do you have a particular axe to grind ???
