Not sure how much longer this is going to go on for... but I will put this to perspective if people want the Amiga to be a major OS...

To appeal to the college average kid, it has to have a good web browser to do their homework/quizes online.  They use Blackboard here for their grading system/online homework.  The great thing about this is that you dont have to take some nasty pop quizes like they did back then. :)

A good word processor...  Of course everyone needs to type up a paper, but im sure there can be a sufficient one for AmigaOS thats already available. No problem here.

Powerpoint..... Yes, Microsoft makes it, but its the only one that college kids get to really experience or the only media presentation maker they get to use, but this can be overcome by using something like Scala. :)

Games..... I cant stress this enough...  If Amiga had World of warcraft, Unreal Tournament 2004 or Counter Strike, then Amiga would be widely used by many gamers....



I usually think to myself how the average person likes a PC, and for the most part, a majority only want it to keep family pictures... My friends as a whole dont give a rats @$$ what OS they got, as long as they can play World of Warcraft, Counter Strike, or Unreal Tournament 2004...

This would take too long.... But it would be nice to see AmigaOS in something, but as far as a home computer... probably not...  It would be cool to see it ran on top of cell phones like a Razr.  I think i read somewhere that you can replace the entire thing on a Razr and make it have your own GUI.  Either way, Amiga has to play in something different.

I probably beat the horse till it shattered lol! :P

But hey, I am only helping from a college view is all. :D :-)

LOL! That picture is just too funny.  :-)


But yea....  I never really was in a hurry to get OS4 anywhere, but the last time I tried AROS, i was really impressed.  :-)

I hope for that to be developed even more in the future! :)
