OpenGL is also not listed as essential in Annex I of the contract,
No, it is listed as "important to essential". So are you suggesting that Amiga Inc should have guessed, in December 2004, that Hyperion had "completed" OS4, despite important to essential bits still missing?
That's a strange definition of "completed" you got there. "Important" is not a different word for "optional"...

f you want to stick to what the contract says, you can't argue against competion of OS4 in Dec-2004.
Ah, yes. Sure. Now, shall we go through and list "essential" or "important" items which were missing in December 2004, again?
Fine.... WarpOS support. Listed as essential. Missing until update 3 (and again in the Final Update) SCSI drivers. Listed as essential. Missing in 2004 P96 drivers for Permedia2 and S3 Virge. Do any of them exist even today? Listed as essential. P96 drivers for Matrox 450/550, G-REX, Mediator, CVPPC. Listed in a box labelled "essential". Do any of them even exist today? Warp3D drivers for all supported gfx cards. Listed as "important to essential". I believe in 2004, Warp3D support was completely absent from *any* card. Did not arrive until update 3, and certainly not for all the cards listed. OpenGL. Listed as "important". Never been available.
Tell me again that I "cannot argue", why don't you? Especially when the same annex has the following: "It is clear that the primary concern should be to get OS4 up and running on both the AmigaONE as well as the CyberstomPPC cards as soon as possible" --- half of which, for all intents and purposes, *still* has not happened, and certainly had not happened in December 2004 (we can go back and dig out the old "well, it's not done yet" posts regarding the CSPPC if you really want to, but I think we all remember them, right?)
