Since we are at it, are there any chances this machine will revive the interest for AmigaOS?
Not for anyone but the ultra-geeks, who'd probably be happy to build up their own system anyway. Most people are happy to pay a couple hundred bucks for a machine and have it work out of the box and have tons of software to use. The cost of this small production run hardware probably seems completely ridiculous to the average computer user.
I am puzzled by the fact that there are so many great OSes out there like Haiku and AmigaOS for home computer usage, yet most users are stuck with the CP/M fileloader (Windows) and the AT&T line printer manager (Unix/Linux)...
Support, support, support, be it hardware, software, technical, or warranty. Try bringing an OS4 system to your local Best Buy/Staples for troubleshooting or repair. Now that's "stuck." It's fun stuff if you know what you're doing, but most people just want something that does what they need it to do and leaves them alone. Computing isn't a novelty anymore, it's a necessity.
