On my AMDx2 system, only puppylinux and AROS feel fast & fun. Others either do not install or are slow. (my SAM runs circles around this unless AmigalikeOS is used.)

So, to me AOS & AmigalikeOS(AROS) is not dead end. It is the best option beside puppy for me.

"I do not think mr. Altman is in this business to lose money. X1000 will be bought by several hundred, maybe thousand people."

As far as I understand x1000 is just a stepping stone and with the sales of ~1000 it might become profitable, because of high margins.

"Commodore PC64 could sell 10 000+ units easily per markets like UK, USA and Germany alone. That's just PC64..."

PC market has very small margins.

>Hyperion have nothing to bring on the table worth buying, if not only for the name Amiga OS. But since they cannot run Amiga OS anyway on x86, there's really no sense to go for that.
A rewrite to x86 is negated by the existence of AROS... that is, "

I think emulation to run AOS4 on x86 would be the initial option.
If AROS would be developed to be AOS5 (native on multiplatform), it would speed up the R&D if they could take advantage of AOS codebase.

"it would be much cheaper and faster for Commodore to hire some devs to work on that. "

Not sure about that. And they would need to be devs that understand AOS. Not any Windows or linux programmers.
