@Degauss:
Thanks!
To be honest, i never thought AmigaOS 4.0 would be finished at all.
Well, you are not the only one. The world was quite suprised about this release. Yet, there is no hardware available for this release, so there are no newcomers yet.
Is it your 68k-JIT-Engine?
Yes, among many small things, this was my main contribution.
Whats your opinion about the MorphOS/Pegasos-Branch of the Amiga-Family?
I have my opinion, but I'd rather keep it to myself. There were enough bashing between these two strictly separate group.
In case you don't know much about the details: MOS and AOS4 is not compatible, goes totally different route on development. The only compatibility level is AOS3.1 and Motorola 680x0 processor emulated, which means developers could not use any new features if they want to run the same software on both platforms, and even more: the application will run slower because of the emulated processor.
Too bad that the remaining Amiga fans are fragmented into at least five different platforms (classic Amiga, AOS4, MOS, emulator freaks, AROS). I believe there is only one way ahead, but ask any Amiga fellow and he/she will declare the same, just will name a different way...
