Just wondering... are many beta testern not real Amiga users? I mean, only testing specific things, not really using the OS for everyday activities (as far as possible)?
I have gotten the impression that no betatester listen to music other than possibly for a specific test that have been told to perform.
I ALWAYS listen to music, all the time. Mosly in AmigaAMP. So all tests I do is with music playing in the background. Maybe if this hasn't been tested very much - not long-term tested - in combination with huge USB transfers, disk transfers, low mem situations, high CPU stress - all the above at the same time, it's not surprizing that stuff like this slips through.
Example of what I can do an ordinary day: Have a lot of programs open of course, like YAM, SabreMSN, AmIRC, Annotate, DOpus, AmigaAMP, OWB, and lots of background tools and commodities I can't remember. + Play music of course. + The start a large USB transfer. + Start to reencode videos (that has already transferred). + Watch another video to see what else I want to reencode. + While having this at the side I surf facebook until memory rus out. + Now I want to watch some new pics I have take with my camera so I start transferring that too over USB and open PicShow which quickly swollows 70MB (remember memory was already out). + I might also prepare to burn a CD/DVD at this point.
This is what AmigaOS (or any OS) should be able to handle on a daily basis. Do you test situations like this? Does it work?
It works most of the time for me but when it starts swapping in a situation like this it usually goes downhill pretty quickly, which is sad. I actually think update 2 was a bit more stable when swapping than update 3.
