I'm loving how all the iconic Amiga applications are getting regrouped under one umbrella organization.  It also seems smart that if you are selling an AOS4.x machine then you need to have decent and unique applications to run on it that aren't just ports from Linux or Window.  As much as I like Gimp, OpenOffice and Blender, when I can already get them for other platforms it doesn't give me much incentive to use them on the Amiga. The promise of Amiga-only applications like Aladdin4d, ImageFX and OctaMED being optimized and developed under OS4 make me start thinking about getting an OS4 machine.

I don't really understand the anger over A-EON not porting software it owns to MorphOS and AROS. That's like expecting Ford to start making accessories and parts for Toyota owners. They are under no obligation to do so and have a business of their own to run.

It would be nice if they did, but I don't begrudge them for not doing so.
