Unfortunately, by the time OS4 was more ready for end users, its main hardware partner, Eyetech pulled out of the Amiga market in 2006. It would take a further 2 years, before a final release in Dec 2006 was AmigaOS4 no longer considered a work in progress / beta Operating System. It was hoped that a port could be produced in short order, even Hyperion claimed it could be done in 4 months, however a Developer Pre-Release did not arrive until Oct 2004, after 3 years of development. Amiga Inc at this time had decided to focus on its Amiga Anywhere platform. AmigaOS 4 has had a difficult life, in 2001 Hyperion and Amiga Inc entered an agreement to allow Hyperion to develop a PowerPC version of AmigaOS, based on the source code of AmigaOS3.1.
