Look at these AmigaOS 4 screenshots. Is it just me or does it look kinda like MacOS X without Aqua, Quartz and Mac style icons(more like Linux style icons)?

Personally, I think it looks terrible.

that's really nice compared with years and years ago when i last used an amiga!
it doesn't really look good though. i mean my windowmaker setup is minimalist but in my opinion it looks really nice, while this... doesn't to be frank. (btw http://calumnine.cjb.net/wmaker2003.jpg to see a wmaker screenie)

but as far as i know the AmigaOS is limited to be an 8 bit OS (is this right?) while linux is 32/64/128 bit, so really it's not a fair contest.
It does look like KDE 1 though, just a bit.

No it's not. Amiga OS has been 32 bit since 1985. And it is, from what I've heard, just as customisable, if not more, than Windowmaker or even KDE.

I was amazed that the CGI from "Seaquest DSV" was all done on an Amiga.

hm_murdock:
because Amigas rule. in a similar vein, the Macintosh Quadra 660av and 840av have very similar features (integrated A/V DSP chips, et cetera)

BouncingAyatollah:
Amigas were used for all of the CGI in the first series of Babylon 5 too, after that some Pentiums etc. were brought into the render farm too for more grunt, although I believe the artists still used the Amigas for modeling.
