What emulator you are using to run AOS4 on Corei7?

Such hardware could run an emulation of OS4, run a 1080p movie, severel tabs in firefox, an open excel and a word document and not feel a sweat about it. Hell, I have a much slower PC then that and I can run it no problemo...

There is no Amiga OS 4 emulator...

Even SAM can open several tabs in Firefox and open/write word and excel documents. However, PIII class CPU is not enough for HD video.

The days of having a unique platform are over.

And people are still buying dedicated hardware for OS of their choice. Crazy world...

So there really is no excuse in going PPC if only to suck out more money from a customer.

Now I see, you left the platform too early to know its complicated (and frustrating...) history. PowerPC CPU was choosen for Amiga by Amiga Technologies (and with consent of the community) in 1995/1996. First PowerPC CPU cards for A4000 were introduced in 1997. When Amiga OS 4 project started in 2001, PowerPC was in this regard logical choice. Amiga OS is now PowerPC native OS, port to another CPU architecture is possible, but it needs much more time and money than Hyperion has.
