Awesome list of vaporware products, my favourite being the RealPC emulator for Mac OSX - after Amiga OS4 ofcourse.

The amusing honesty from the new President of FWB that "not a single line of code" has been written, despite promises that the project was at beta stage was particularly funny.

Finally I love the comment here that AInc should let Wired News know that OS4 is a real product.

Assuming that it was in their interests to do so, and assuming that there is anyone left at AInc that could be bothered to respond to the article, how would you propose they go about proving OS4's existance?

A better solution would be to permanently remove themselves from the list (9th place two years running is a dubious distinction) by actually releasing products within a couple of years of the given release date.

BTW, I think a new animation would be appropriate for the AInc corporate website, maybe a tumbleweed blowing throw the empty desert to reflect the lack of anything substantial, or in fact the lack of any real people, being found at the mythical Amiga headquarters building.
