Quoted for truth.
When OS5 was first announced there was still momentum in the Amiga market. Now... nothing.
For me Amiga's final nail in the coffin as far as anything other then a retro system was when Eyetech announced that A.inc hadn't touched OS4 in months due to money troubles, on the day of the launch of the ill fated AOne.
There was a joke in the BeOS community as to which would be released first - AOS4 or Zeta R1.0.... Well, Zeta is now at 1.2 and OS4 will thanks to the tangled web that's been weaved probably will never see a final release. At this point, I fully expect Zeta will get full multiuser functionality and a 2.0 release before a new version of AmigaOS is released (by that I mean something other then a beta).
At this point I see devices like the minimig to have far more of a future then any number of troikas, samanthas or whatevers. AmigaOS at this point is so far behind on so many levels that beyond retro computing, has no hope of being marketable to the general public, or even more mainstream geeks.
Sorry if that upsets anyone, but that is how I see it.
