I think we all appreciate the update....but....who wants/needs OS5? It'd sounds akin to Microsoft promising Vista before XP even got released.  Strange indeed. And so much for an 'October Surprise' OS4 on PS3.....Seriously, nothing really new here, I could have sworn I read the same stuff in a 2000 edition of Amiga Format (RIP).

I, for one, want OS4...a desktop OS for PPC or x86 (who really cares about the cpu at this point?).  If I ever think in the future my toaster or coffee maker needs 'digital convergence', then I guess we could talk about your AmigaAnywhere/OS5 (dumb name though imho).

And really...$500,000.00 revenue requirement?  Are you serious?  What's Amiga's revenue?  At last count there were maybe a handful of manufacturers still making anything Amiga (Eyetech has divested from Amiga afaik and from what I read Jens is seriously considering hanging it up).

In summary, I think you're going to have to do better than giving us re-hashed Year 2000 plans in 2006.  My suggestion: Drop this silly notion of OS5, hand out OS4 hardware licenses like candy and open the platform to 3rd parties.  Although it's probably already far too late...
