AmigaOS '4+1' To Have Virtual Environment for AmigaOS 4 Apps

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 15th Aug 2007 20:02 UTC, submitted by Raffaele

In a discussion on Amiga forum site The Amigans, the Friedens twin brothers (developers of AmigaOS 4.0 exec kernel) revealed that the complete Amiga OS architecture will move ahead to a new design. The new AmigaOS (let's call it AmigaOS 4+1) will include some sort of virtual environment in which old (AmigaOS 4.0) applications will run as separate tasks, in their own address space. MorphOS, an Amiga-like operating system, employs a similar method to allow for compatibility with older Amiga 3.x applications. AmigaWorld of course also discusses the matter.

And the Oscar for the VAPORWARE device goes to the new Amiga computer!

And perhaps the Oscar for TOTAL SECURITY OS goes to Windows Vista?

Well, at least Vista is here now and running. It's probably not the best release of Windows, but it works for most users.

More importantly, it's Windows running on alive hardware that you can buy everywhere. It's what 95% of the world is using (or so, don't quote me).

Amiga, for all it's glory and fame, is now a very small niche market of strong FANS that can't forget about it. And all the work being done to keep it alive is .... well, like Duke Nukem, it's the never ending project/OS, on hard to find and costly hardware.

Don't get me wrong, Amiga was ahead of it's time, a very good computer that could do stuff IBM/Apple could only dream about. But we are in 2007 now.

Dear Sir,

I am only tried to defend my preferred OS from trolls...

They made some humor about vapourware?

So I just pointed with some humor the fact that all security system of Vista is nothing than Vapour and deserve an Oscar for this fact...

So now, why don't you wrote your irrilevant comments into the threads regarding other Operating Systems?

I bet that you will taste on your own skin how your comments will be apprecciated by people who are talking constructively about other OSes, into their threads.

-----

Sincerely I don't know why you infamous people hate so much the Amiga that on any news you spot about AmigaOS, you got the dare to enter the threads and offend...

There are people still interested in Amiga, and we barely can bear you trolls.

Seems that you trolls hate the fact Amiga it is still alive...
