I agree with what most people have said so far; a very nice site, but it doesn't answer the most obvious questions of any end-user:
"Where and when can I buy it, how much is it, and what hardware does it run on?"

I thought this was pretty funny:
"13. It's cheap to run.

Because AmigaOS4.0 has such a small "hardware footprint" - that is to say that it runs extremely well on even very basic hardware - it is extremely cheap to run.
[...] End users shouldn't feel left out either; every day you use AmigaOS4.0 you save money. The low power consumption of the hardware Amiga OS4.0 is designed to run on means you could save as much electricity as switching to energy saving light bulbs. AmigaOS4.0 is better for your wallet, and better for the environment too!"

Heh. No wonder the word "AmigaOne" can't be found anywhere on the site! One would have to use the currently allowed PPC hardware for decades if one thinks one is going to make up for its ridiculous initial price on the electricity bills! :)

1. OS4 is for Amiga hardware not Mac hardware and due to Apple's. Second, Eyetech make Amiga hardware not Hyperion.


You ARE being sarcastic now, right? No?
In case you didn't discover it during the last few years, then the new AOS4 website that this news item is all about should help you: The OS is for whatever hardware it's ported/adapted to, and for that to happen a hardware vendor needs to get a licence. There is no Amiga hardware in any meaningful sense of the word.
Buy a licence for selling Terons to AmigaOS users and Terons are "Amiga hardware".
Buy a licence for selling Macs to AmigaOS users and Macs are "Amiga hardware".
...

Crash course in "Amiga hardware" for the newbie.
