Some interesting snippets of information, posted by SlimJim:

  • Screenshots of Amiga OS 4.0 will be published in the first part of April.

  • Magic Menu and Birdie (among others) will be seamlessly integrated into the OS 4.0 interface.

  • The new OS 4.0 GUI will look quite different (i.e it will not just look like a fast OS 3.9).

  • Opus Magellan 2 has been licensed for OS 4.0 (details unknown).

  • For the moment, the new printer system is not due to arrive until Boingbag/OS 4.1.

  • The _latest_ MUI source code will be used (there was a question about this)

  • IBrowse2.3 will be quite some beast. It will be enhanced for OS4.0. Not just some Aminet update. It will still miss some features of Netscape/IE though. There is not time to fix all to OS4.0. Flash is planned to be implemented. IB will be _much_ more stable than it is now.

  • The guy that did the Warp-datatypes seems to be doing the new PPC-datatypes.

  • The datatype system as a whole is to get a complete overhaul later. There is not enough time to do that to initial release.

  • An office suit (Open office if I remember correctly) is being worked on. This is a 'high priority' for inclusion. (although it was not clear to me if it would be shipped initially)

  • The development of software -independent of company size- is difficult to predict. But Mr. Hermans seems quite confident of an end-user release in May.

Update 02.04.2002:
Here a largher transscript from amiga.org. (ps)
