If Amiga OS4 was released today, it will be dominant.  It has the Amiga name, that's all there is to it.  And given Hyperion's track record, it will no doubt be a very polished product when it finally is released.  

But every week its delayed more people drift off to MacOS or windows or MorphOS and its chances of success dwindle!

Personally, I don't see much of a future in MOS: from a technical point view it targets the same restricted hardware as OS4


Not really.  MOS will run on:- Pegasos, Pegasos II, Teron (has been tested, and works), CyberStormPPC, BlizzardPPC, and (as stated by Bill Buck) PPC Mac hardware by the end of the year.

Meanwhile, OS4 will only run on CSPPC and Teron, thanks to AInc's licensing policy.
