I'm in Fall River but my Amiga use is limited to an occassional WinUAE for CD32 emulation. That's why I'm trying to draw support for OS4 on Ninendo Gamecube and Revolution. OS3 is not an OS for today's user. MAC is losing ground and hopes to lower their entry costs to the platform by going to Intel hardware. Linux isn't a user-friendly OS either.
Amiga OS has potential if modernized. But it needs a low entry cost to appeal to anyone looking to try it out before making the switch from Windows.
Future versions of Microsoft Office products are going to use XML as the document standard. This will allow new (or old with a plugin) Amiga apps to interoperate with Office (Word, Excell, Powerpoint) rather easily. So common desktop applications for 99% of users will be possible.
Targeting the niche market as a target audience will always leave the platform as a niche machine. Let the core audience grow FIRST, then release niche products.
