You gotta watch THIS Leopard tour! Cybereye and I watched this last night and both came to the conclusion that this is no longer in question, Apple has taken over where Amiga should have been, would have been, could have been, but isn't.


MIPS and I were saying this 5 years ago when Apple released Jaguar.  The OS hasn't really changed all that much since then, there have been a bunch of nice features (expose springs to mind) and a bunch of features that are cool-sounding, but not particularly useful (dashboard).  Overall though, not much has really changed, because they got the basics right from that start (Although some might argue that the Finder has been fundamentally broken for some time)

What's annoying is that Gateway-Amiga plans were essentially along the same lines.  I wonder if, had the MMC been released with a QNX or Linux based core, we'd be enjoying similar success right now.
