Amiga Inc needs to let Wired know that it's a real product.


Do you mean that AInc should lie to Wired, or that AInc (?) should hurry up with the release of AOS4?

Vapourware, according to Wired:

"As in previous years, software in a never-ending, pre-release, beta-testing stage is considered vaporware, even if it's widely available. It hasn't shipped until it's shrink-wrapped."

Uh oh, if we should take that last bit literally, AOS4 will always be considered vapourware... ;)

"Likewise hardware. Prototypes may exist in some company's lab, but it's vaporware until it hits store shelves.

And remember, if it shipped -- even if it stank -- it's not vaporware."
