AmigaOS is the Elvis of operating systems, it had the good sense to die about the time it started going to seed, so we can all morn what might have been unencumbered with the vision of an overweight 70 year old trying to swing those hips.

I think Eric Schwartz' latest video captures that, the Amiga as a once famous singer now singing karaoke and pretending that she really still matters.  AmigaOS would not have aged well, it would have put on weight like all the other operating systems.  It would have to support all those things that we expect a modern operating system to support.  It would have to have gone intel.  Tripos swapped out for a unix variant, etc, etc Everything the Mac haters moan about would have happened to the Amiga.

Does it matter when you have swarms of active talented developers writing applications for your platform?

Is Mac backwards compatible with any PPC or 68k software?

Microsoft owes everyone a refund for MS Office 2008.  It's right up there with ME and Bob.  2011 rocks though and has no PPC code.

Generally that's true alright, I can't think of anything I'd need that hasn't been moved to Intel long ago. Having said that though, I'm pretty glad I don't have to re-purchase my copy of Office 2004 PPC to run it on an Intel Mac...
