Ben Hermans speech in Gothenburg

[reflect]

On the OS4OnTour in Gothenburg, Ben Hermans from Hyperion made a lengthy speech which was recorded and filmed. We're now making the mp3 of the speech publically available here. (http://www.acggbg.org/~reflect/OS4/)

Nothing particularly new was said, if you're thinking of downloading the mp3 but you're on a modem connection :)

[Lo]

Nice to hear confidence in the product. Sounds like it may be available before Christmas.

A nice speech... A bit old release of mp3 conversion though, considering this speech was given on late June, but better late than never.

(edit) Appartently there have been earlier release but it had worse sound quality.. That'll explain the delay.

It's pretty neat to listen to. It's only about 7MB, so modem download isn't so bad. Ben seems very enthusiastic and positive, which is very good news even if some people think what he said was "nothing new". Thanks for releasing the MP3! :pint:

Wait, OS4 doesn't even have a native compiler yet?

BTW Ben, you're welcome.

As I've said before, competition brings out the best in people. I'm glad you finally realized that.

Now, can't wait till AOS4 ships so we can grind you into the ground. 8)

"ding, ding, ding, *SMACK*, *THUNK*, 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...And the contender was knocked out in the first 10 seconds of the first round!"

Just kidding (couldn't resist). :-)

It has, in the meantime. It wasn't that high priority since we had cross compilers on almost all systems, like Linux/x86, Linux/PowerPC, MacOSX, OS 3.9, and Win32/Cygwin.

Remember that this speech is already quite dated.

Ok, phew. Was afraid for a second. The lack of a native compiler held back AROS for a long time.

And the cross-compiler idea is good, after all, MorphOS already offers that.

It's still holding AROS back :cry: IMHO
