I am just hoping Amiga OS 4 coms out. From what I see on 3.9 and what I've read, to deny this to Amigans and non-amigans everywhere is a crime. Amiga Inc. should drop hardware shit and just concentrate on OS.

Now place that OS desktop alongside XP. It would be like placing a smorgasbord beside a dayglo turd!

Are you kidding? Amiga OS 3.9 has options and class that NO M$ stuff can have. Apple could learn a few cool perks from it as well.
Its a pretty looking OS, you see, I am big on stlyish elegance, from food to music to OS's. And OS 3.9 has tons. Very logical layout as well.

I find working in OS 3.9 a bit unintuitive at times. It looks great with a Picasso II and 19" monitor, but seems a bit kludgy in areas dealing with the UI.

It's the design of the UI and how you interact with it. It's got nothing to do with the hardware.

Yeah, its not superb, its got weaknesses in how some operations are initiated. But I like it better than the architecture of XP.

I agree, I often miss windows explorer's functionality :/ I especially hate having to Window->Update every time the contents of a window is changed.

I were trying to say, the way that skin looks is kitsch and not seems suitable for regular use.

That right Frederic, the Movie making program Microcrap gives you with Windows Xtra Poop is horrible. It is called Windows Movie Maker and it is worse than Powerpoint! , unusable even. It will turn many people off from editing video with their PC. The stuff Apple gives you blows M$ away.

iMovies is pretty damn slick for a beginners simple program. We loaded it up on my friend's G4, first time ever, he never used it before. Hooked up a DV cam to the Mac... We were up and running in seconds. We made a small video in seconds.

We were happy video doers

Does iMovie support 3rd party Effects plug-ins? Can I port my Video Toaster Effects to iMovie? I have had 2 customers ask for that. All I would need is a 3rd party developer API for iMovie to do it. Also what is the installed userbase of iMovie?

Yup, Pyro. Yes, its beginner's stuff, and you professionals must use heavy duty stuff. But its damn good and a great intro to the world of digital editing, etc, I also have XP, and Movie Maker is Feces Maker.
Period.

Hmm.. I'm not sure abut that Pyro... The userbase is big since it comes bundled with every mac since... dunno, the new iBook methinks.
But I am not sure about opensourced plugins.

The OS 9 version is crap compared to the OS X. But is still vastly superior to the Xp Movie Maker.
