AmigaOS 4.0 released

Posted by timothy on from the users-thrilled-plan-to-show-entire-retirement-home dept.

tmk writes "After five years Hyperion announces the availability of AmigaOS 4.0: 'Amiga OS 4.0 is the most stable, modern and feature-rich incarnation to date of the multi-media centric operating system launched by Commodore Business Machines (CBM) in 1985 with which it still retains a high degree of compatibility.' But there is a snag: the new OS supports only the AmigaOne, which is not available anymore. According to Hyperion, the new hardware platform will be announced by third parties early 2007."

  1. The Only Computer/OS That Made Me Want DOS by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I remember my first job had an Amiga machine with some old bitmap tool that no one had taken the time to rewrite. My god what a piece of shit computer and OS. Now DOS was and forever will be a steaming pile of shit, but the Amiga is the only computer that ever made me thankful to get back DOS.

    Just FUCKING DIE!

    Amiga freaks
    Dreamcast freaks
    Xbox freaks

    Isn't there some sort of space arc we can send all these miserable sods off to some 'better place'?

  3. DId anybody ever use the OS? by Joce640k · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm sure the Amiga would have been 99.9% as successful without the OS. All I ever saw anybody do with one was stick floppies in and watch the "demos".

    I did all my editing/assembling on an Atari ST and sent it across a printer cable to the Amiga. I had an Amiga 1000 - the only true Amiga.
