I like this to be confirmed by Hyperion. To make sure.

This just proves how much left there is to go ;/ most likely they will show them running seperatly on some PPC equiped classic Amiga running OS3.x.

>Intuition

Ahn those intregrated VirtualPrefs and Birdies running ontop
of OS3.x (yes I know based on orginal sources but still)

>RoadShow
I think that was allready demonstrated last summer (on Amithlon).

>MediaToolBox
The single most important part of any OS !!

Where is ExecSG ? Petunia ? The A1 booting OS4 (I think that
was in that OSNews-Article) ? Radeon-drivers ?

Sorry but if that's all they can show, than it's even longer to
the release than I thought.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Longer than you thought? I hope not.  Didn't you suggest Christmas 2003? hehehe  :-D

I'm going to try and keep myself contained for a week and see what really happens at this show.  Lets hope it all goes to plan.

Looking forward to it  ;-)

@zudobug

My last (public) prediction was mid february (didn't say what year  :-P ).

And thats for OS-A1 with all drivers and Radeon-2D.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.

The demonstration is limited to components with significant visual output.

Exec SG is quite finished and so is FFS2 since ages.

Idem for our USB stack for instance.

But there is exactly zero demonstration value to be derived from these components.

In fact, I remember a Swedish show where Martin Blom was showing off our Soundblaster Live! drivers months ago and nobody even noticed it.

That might be true but the idea that they are there and working will make everyone go giddy up. :-)

This Deth-bark was heard from Kronos:

Don't discount the possibility that they are only showing a few 'tasters' to keep people at bay...

ExecSG isnt something that 'looks' good (not visual entertainment ;-) ), and petunia is possibly the same.
the Radeon2D drivers arent being done by Hyperion, so it'll probly be left up to forefront to demo.

In return I'll try to be less the eternal optimist...

So I wonder will these components run on top of WarpOS?
 
Don't tell me they're 68k builds again...
