what OS4 needs is a "killer" app. Even a hardware/software combo like the toaster/flyer would be the ticket. If you want to do Office stuff, accounting, or CD burning you might as well use a cheap x86 box with Linux/Windows to do that stuff. Walmart has a linux/x86 box with a 1.2 ghz Duron for $200. The Draco is a good example of what AmigaOS was great for. Small, fast, and reliable.
I'm not so sure a Killer App is needed. Killer Apps only draw people when there's a niche that's not already being met somewhere else. You'd be hard pressed to find that niche nowdays.
Nowdays, you'd be better working on how well rounded and useable your environment is, rather than focusing on a niche. Everyday common hardware and common software availability is the biggest feature you could have.
