no.  I think OS4, MOS, AROS are going to be a hobbyist OS until it gets some real software and features like a real OS.  Amiga doesnt have a name brand.  I've asked my fellow coworkers about it and maybe 1 or 2 out of my team heard of the Amiga but have no interest in returning to use it.  These are tech folks, some my age, some older.  I've been using Linux since Caldera OpenLinux 1.0.  Back then it had software but nothing to write home about, unlike now.

Hyperion and the MOS devel team released their respective OS.  You didnt see a whole heck of alot of commercial support.  The excuse of "once its out of beta" which commercial companies (or company..) used.. thats just b.s.

They way to get it done is to port linux apps to OS4/MOS/whatever and build the software library that way.

Sigh.  IMO.
