Ars Technica Reviews AmigaOS 4.0

Posted by timothy on from the it-isn't-free-though dept.

Amiga Lover writes "While tales of the troubles behind the Amiga's ownership abound over the last 10 years, work has been going on in the background for newer releases of the operating system that powered some of the most desirable computers from the 1980s. You can now buy brand new Amiga motherboards, and the operating system is very close to a final release. Jeremy Reimer from arstechnica reviews the current developer preview of AmigaOS 4.0, going over this new small and fast OS in thorough arstechnica style."

    the operating system is very close to a final release.

    While a new Amiga OS is just as intriguing to me as the next guy, this operating system has been vaporware for quite some time now, and I question when it will actually arrive.
    This Amiga OS began winning Wired's Vaporware award back in 1999.
