The OS that keeps coming back from the dead, AmigaOS 4.1 is out! Ars did an article on it and its pretty interesting: http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/amigaos41-ars.ars
I was pretty blown away by this thing back in college. Back when I had a 486/66 running Windows 3.1 and Norton Desktop, my friend who was doing visual effects out of his dorm room was running an Amiga with Video Toaster loaded on it and whatever the uber-Mac was at the time running System 7, both of which were way more advanced (and considerably more expensive) than what I was using.
I wouldn't mind playing around with this on another partition, its too bad it doesn't work on x86 CPUs. The only PPC machine I have is my PS3, and I gave away my old G4 almost a year ago. Anyone around here get a chance to play around with it?
