@itix

I think its clear that AmigaOS will be hobby OS as long as does not have commercial software.

OWB just being one, of many multimedia applications to make will be need to turn off the Windows/Linux/MacOSX computer.

@Mainstream SW

Very common:
-not simple to use (too many features/things that most people do not need, Linux apps too geeky, Windows philosophy just insane, Apple is simple but restricting...)
-large and very slow vs available resources
-fail to integrate things... (only MS apps co-operate without hickups)
-senior users and kids are poorly supported
-security issues
....

If we have/had basic needs well fulfilled + simple options to "boot for kids", "boot for senior", "boot for banking", "boot for RETRO games", "mediacenter" etc. implemented there might be more commercial opportunities... (more sub niches to utilize)

There is no niche for a slow and expensive PowerPC computer out there besides this one (OS4 and MOS)
