Amiga OS also lacks the ability to phone home to a corporate headquarters.

I imagine IBM might have had something to do with it too :)

I remember the exciting days of trying to play a game, and the computer insisting that the 16 meg's of RAM in your machine were totally not enough to run a game requiring 2 meg's to work.

Besides there's no reason the amiga GUI features couldn't be built in to something else. Im still astounded there's not a proper, full featured counterpart to KDE and Gnome (especially with the path Gnome 3 is taking)

(AmiWM is neat and all, but veeery feature-incomplete)
