Do you realize how much money and effort it would take to make an OS as polished as MacOS or Windows?

Linux has an army of people working on it and it still not as polished as the two big guns...
Maybe so, but the fact is that CUSA made big claims about developing their own Amiga-based OS ("Workbench 5," they were calling it.) Now, we've all well and truly gotten to expect these kind of shenanigans from them by now, but a broken promise is still a broken promise.
