AmigaOS4.0
AmigaOS4.0: The venerable yet ill-starred operating system receives an update. Ars Technica has a six-page review; Wikipedia has tons of background. I don't know of any Adobe software written native for this OS, although the old Flash 3 Player for Amiga is still online, based on code from Oliver Debon's GPLFlash, which also grew into the non-web GameSWF engine and its subsequent fork, the FSF-branded Gnash project. Commodore and the Amiga have a honorable position in the history of popular computer graphics... I'm not sure how many people will end up using this Operating System, but I'm glad they have the option to do so.
