Was discussing this on IRC the other day, wondered what everyone else's is..
Stuff, I wish I could run on OS4:
1: Open Office 2: Full Featured Web Browser 3: Remote Client to Amiga (i.e. Allow me to use my Amiga remotely from Elsewhere in the world) 4: MacOSX emulator from OS4 5: Microphone Support for Internet Audio streaming
That would pretty much mean, I would only switch on the PC for something specific and not every day.
What's your software wish list?

No cause is lost if there is but one fool left to fight for it.
1. OS4 available for SAM, PS3, ClassicPPC (incl. ACK products) and especially a laptop/portable.
2. Lots of users!
3. A modern webbrowser, preferably Firefox or Opera (as thats what people use and know outside Amiga) but any full featured browser would do.
4. Java - It is needed for homebanking here in Denmark and I cant ditch my PC before I can do homebanking with the Amiga!
5. OpenOffice
6. Lots of creativity software, music and paint programs.
7. A guaranteed steady flow of Tunenet updates (love this application)!
8. More positivity in the Amiga community, we're few left but why not try and have some fun. Ohh and surprise those that left the community when we actually get our browser, OpenOffice, Java etc...
Number 1!!!!!!!! AOS4.0 version of AMOS Professional and compiler, or Basic (NOT Blitz Basic, I saw some sample code, couldn't understand it at all.)
I am waiting eagerly for Mattathias Basic.
2. SuperBase5!!!!!!
3. PPC ARexx.
4. Not fanatic about it or anything, but I think it would be cool to have Rebol. It seems to be constantly getting a bigger following.
Any ports of commercial RPGs from the x86 side. A MMORPG.
Hardware's a no brainer:
PA-Semi 2.26 GHz dual core G5 MB with a Cell (3.4 GHz) on there as a co-processor! Sockets for upto 8 Gigs of ram.
**** Edit
How could I have possibly forgotten!?!
My wish is 4.40 an (s)Amiga Phantasy baby!
Support Amiga Fantasy cases!!! How to program: 1. Start with lots and lots of 0's. 10. Add 1's, liberally. "Details for OS 5 will be made public in the fourth quarter of 2007, ..." - Bill McEwen Whoah!!! He spoke, a bit late.
For OS4: 1: An modern Web Browser 2: TuneNet with an Media Libary function 3: A new, much faster Version of E-UAE OR an PCI card of Clone-A to play my old games on my miggy (ATM i had sound disortions )! 4: More Users! 5: WarpUp Emulation!!
For Me: 1: Much more Time 2: Much more Money ... and many more things
@Mikey_C My wishlist: -Browser with newest web technologies -Candy Factory 2 -new ArtEffect -new Cinema4D -IDE like StormC or other concept -new games (Moonstone 2) -much more amiga like software, i hate ports only.
I don't like OpenOffice, because it is very slow. I'm looking forward to Abiword.
For OS4: 1. IBrowse 3.0 + WebGuiTools + AmiTorrent + "All"Players 2. Final Writer 2007 + TurboPrint 2007 for ColourLasers 3. Deluxe Paint VI + PhotoAlbum 4. VistaPro PowerPPCTurbo + Real 3D-4D 4. Magellan III + MakeDVD 5. Octalyzer NG + unlimited Beer. 6. PayBack Special Time (3D+First Person shoot all) 7. All Good Games usually renewed like "2007" You know what they are like AlienBreed, Super Cars 3D, hundreds maybe?
Others: 8. V8 Car 9. More money 10. Hope not being too drunk when going to the movies with my over 6-years-time "girlfriend" to see Mr.Bean. 11. Parent's not too pissed off (=worried) from the last visit.(3500kms away) 12. New Iron Maiden and Mot?rhead albums. 13. And for AmigaInc+Hyperion+Eyetech, Twelve more wishes for them please! (And Thanks for this A1+OS4 anyways! One to list less!!! ;)
(If Tigers etc. survive that's then top 1. This is our Amiga site, maybe V8+Tigers+Amiga don't match for some but honestly I have not killed any of them.;)
1. More developers for OS4 2. Web browser that supports CSS 3. USB2 Support and more USB class drivers. 4. Faster E-UAE. 5. More X11 programs ( Gaim / Netscape / Mozilla / Firefox / Konqueror) 6. Better and faster 3D 7. More games for OS4 (Including Gorky17) 8. More native File-systems for OS4 9. More Printer drivers for OS4 10. AmigaInput whit out bugs.

MySQL server. I do not understand why nobody did it. And I would like Skype, so that I wouldn't need to boot up the noisy PC.
I've been hoping that someone will port the MySQL server too. We have everything else to run a web portal, it's just the database server that's missing. It's beyond my abilities at present (as is porting Linux apps in general), so I'm hoping someone else will step up to the task.
"the expression, 'atonal music,' is most unfortunate--it is on a par with calling flying 'the art of not falling,' or swimming 'the art of not drowning.'. A. Schoenberg
