Europe has to develop its own hardware (CPU, GPU, ...) and own OS because anything from USA is out of option (for security reasons). AmigaOS and hardware can be developed with money from the EU (think of some 1.000.000.000 ¤) and it will pay because of all the money saved from MS & Intel.
Important are infrastructure, military use, communication, industrial control ... and not the 3D-latest-game-highend-PC. So key-elements are safety, reliability and efficiency (low power consumption) and not 150 fps on a 500 watts PC. PPC and ARM can do fine here.
I think it would be a good idea to buy the P.A. Semi stuff (all rights, patents, knowhow, ...) as a starting point to develop CPUs for Europe. The question is not whether to develop a CPU for Europe ... the question is: how to get the best and quick results.
All there is left to do is to convince enough politicians and maybe the X1000 is a good start.
Well, what do you think? What hardware could be a good starting point? How to convince the EU (European Union)?
