First off, you contradict yourself. "2000 customers" can not possibly make a "cash cow". Win95 was a cash cow. But that's besides the point. Bill's very own statement implied that 2000 customers isn't a market as he intends to grow the market. This is key to any successful market actually, it must ALWAYS keep growing and there are many ways to keep it doing so.
I'm not sure how "outdated" the OS is, but for what it is, a personal computer, it's not bad. All it really needs is a modern browser and Java and these are likely to be added in the near future. One needs to remember that OS4 is only the beginning, not the final goal. When one buys an AmigaOne/OS4 they are investing into a new future and that can still be very exciting and worth the money.
