Amiga is (I believe) old technology today. Can the Amiga OS compete with today?s advanced OS?s like Linux and Windows?
But no one's talking about "reviving" in the sense of re-bringing out existing old technology - it would be like asking who's going to bother about MacOS X, and then say how crap classic MacOS is.

What dose Amiga have to offer that will make AOS more attractive than other OS?s?
Things that I like including programming (toolkits such as MUI make it my favourite platform for application devlopment); some applications (I've yet to find a Windows email client that I prefer over YAM); and various features about AmigaOS (eg, datatypes - although that kind of comes under programming again).

I don't think the current market is bursting with choice when it comes to platforms or OSs, so I'm always happy to see new platforms appear. Especially ones that I'm already familiar, and know has the aforementioned features.
