I meant it from the viewpoint of someone selling OS4.  Making OS3 more usable does nothing to promote an OS4 sale.

Frustration with OS3.x however, doesn't hurt OS4 sales at all.

Costs of A4000 PPC cards make x1000 look positively a bargain so the two are mutually exclusive. Not that anything designed after CD32/A4000T is actually an 'Amiga' though, all the newer stuff are just OS4 compatible boxes to me.

As for the stuff about Amiga Inc may/may not even own KS and Workbench then surely Gateway's current holder will step up and claim their property. If Amiga Inc don't actually own KS/WB then Cloanto are royally screwed as are the OS4 producers.

Not that I really care any more, NONE of them have inched any further than an asthmatic snail superglued to the pavement in moving towards funding a REAL Amiga replacement since the last A4000/A1200/CD32 was manufactured anyway so screw them all really. Like I always said just release KS/WB 0.9-3.1 into public domain and leave the beautiful legacy of Amiga to RIP in the hands of the retro fans who love and cherish what was the worlds most advanced machine architecture light years ahead of every other machine on launch day.

(A1000 in 85/86 that is)
