I think Ketzer descibes the Amiga best - it's a hobby, nothing more.

This is something that Amiga, Inc. reinforces by only describing the AmigaOS platform in relation to existing users. Is there anything from Amiga, Inc. that shows some sign of wanting to grow the AmigaOS platform beyond existing users? Or any OS features or applications that would win new users? Clearly, Amiga, Inc. is looking at the native Amiga platform more as a short-term source of license income than as a long-term project to be comparable in some way with the "Big Platforms". For that job, AmigaAnywhere is the solution; it seems to me Amiga as a proprietary platform is almost dead before it starts, due to the priorities of the company. So as long as buyers go in with their eyes open, it'll be OK, but they shouldn't expect too much IMHO. This is sad, but it's the way Amiga is doing it.
