Perhaps more than 20,000 applications run on AOS4? Yet there is no decent web browser :lol:
We all know how successful Amiga was (and still is, given that it's a vintage platform, it has a large following), but spouting random figures or outdated information from Amiga (or its partners) websites doesn't help your cause. We've all seen that information before, and it is no indication whatsoever of anything changing in the Amiga world.
Here in Australia, you and I (and any other Amiga fans) have no option about buying new Amiga gear but to ship it from Europe or the US. It's prohibitively expensive and it brings about other complications (warranty, power/video differences, etc), so why would the general populous want to do that? I may be looking at things from a pessimistic viewpoint, but realistically, I can't see Amiga moving into a position of prominence by anything short of an astounding development.
Just a point - obviously you haven't been around here long, but please read websites before you post information from them :crazy:
Now scheduled for commercial release in early 2005, AmigaOS 4.0 moves the Amiga Operating System to the modern Power PC chips enabling the easy use of off-the-shelf components from third party vendors.
That was taken from the same page you quoted from and linked to before.
I completely understand your enthusiasm to get Amiga as a prominent platform again, but berating people over the head with out of date information that has done the rounds so many times is not the way to do things. Perhaps look at starting a website (or even a Myspace page), featuring the pros of AOS4 (fast startup time, responsive OS, low system specs - if new HW comes out - backwards compatibility with some AOS 3.X apps, etc) and draw people's attention to it. Something like that would be a much better idea IMHO. :-)
