I think that currently in the Amiga world (I've been a user on and off now since about 92), you can't be much more than a Hobbyist.
Sure we got a new OS being worked on, but is there any serious software for it? Nope. Not even Firefox, which even BeOS and SkyOS already have.
I know Amiga said that they were not trying to market to the Wal-Mart consumer, so I wonder what market they are going for beyond RICH Hobbyists? There are no competative Server apps. T
here are NO media apps as far as being able to edit and create media in ANY of the popular formats such as MPEG 1 and 2, DIVX, XVID, VOB, etc. Besides if we did, I don't think it would be much fun working with those files...
...unless of course the PPC is just that much better than the Intel clone, and can somehow cut hours off the work, otherwise I think one DVD would take about 18 hours to create or edit.
No Firefox = old out dated Web Browsers which seem REALLY slow to me. We've no games (no biggy), no modern Office Suites that I'm aware of...
...what market are we shooting at again?
If there is software of these or other forms that I'm not aware of, then why aren't they being advertised as heavily as the over priced hardware, and the OS you need to run them on? That's what Apple is doing, that's what iLife and all that jazz is about. Creating a good OS with professional easy to use apps, that will appeal to the masses, unlike out old out dated PPaint and the like.
