Is this the end of Amiga? Is there anything special about OS4, Amiga ONE, Pegasos or what else there is currently out there? I guess my question is also, did Amiga die when Commodore turned the key back in the 90's.

The thing that's special about OS4/MOS/AROS is that they work exactly like AmigaOS... but on more modern/powerful hardware.

If you are happy/comfortable/used to AmigaOS they will provide a pleasing experience for you.

See the thing is, I have trouble finding a store that has a demo machine. The only thing I have seen so far is a fuzzy video of OS4 taken by somebody with a handheld camera.

You can always try AROS on your PC... that's a fun experience :-)

Sounds a lot like Amiga Forever to me.  :-D

Except Amiga Forever isn't free ;-)
