What most of the negative people fail to realise (or just don't care about) is that, in order to commercialise the Amiga platform, the Amiga NEEDS a good browser, and an MS office-like suite of programs.

It is imperative that these problems are solved before the main market will consider this platform.

The best thing for you guys would be if you managed to pull this off,  then make sure that a copy of Opera AOS version is bundled with the retail version of AOS 4.0 (and other versions of AOS that opera AOS  is compatible with)
(and the as of yet nonexisting Office suite)

This would be a great step forward. Someone should talk to Hyperion. They will be interested in increasing their sales of AOS4.0, right?

(OBSERVE! bundle = separate disc and not IE-m$ style)

@Kronos

You are STILL missing the point and furthermore, you are joining the whiners.

Amiga has a solid user-group, but it lacks the things I wrote about in the last post. To reach these goals, SOMEONE has to try. These people ARE trying.

I have been watching here silently for quite some time, and I have concluded that you know tons of stuff and that you seldom draw poor conlusions. BUT you are ALWAYS whining. Help them by critizising in a creative way instead of just complaining, thereby helping "the cause".

Use your knowledge for good not evil.

@Kronos

a few 1000 zealots
is a SOLID user-group :-)

Let me clearify my point here.

I am NOT an amiga User, I did use an A500 back in 87-91, but I have since used PC.

I realize that the number of users is low, and that Opera Inc is a company like most others, interested in earning money from whatever they produce.

But remember that few has ever earned anything by playing it safe, some investment was needed in the beginning, such as: cash, time, freedom or similar ( I believe John Carmack slept on the floor of "his office" for years when developing doom and the other early ID games, finally receiving a mattress as a gift from his pals :-)).

Anyway, I apologize about any offence taken.

Still my main point is not the advancement of Amiga or similar. It is the hightened competition that an advancement of Amiga will have.
Competition is good, Monopoly sucks(most times, Systembolaget in Sweden is an exception despite recent "troubles").

The PC system has a few perks such as:
Marketstandard.
easily accessible Hardware.
rather cheap.

won't bother with the limitations.

BTW, what is your one project?
