No kidding Sherlock. That's what I've been trying to get across to Cobra but he insists that its designed to be a competitor to OS 4 systems and not a retro 68k hobby project.

I don't think you can compare the two. X1000 is inextricably wound up in the future of OS 4 in a way that Natami isn't with AROS or Amiga 3.x.

Core developers aren't being taken away from others tasks to work on Natami - it's really a separate project. Natami isn't the main way to attract new developers to either work on AROS or AROS apps - any improvements made to AROS x86 just get ported to 68k. You could quote Sam as a way to attract people to OS 4, though expensive in itself, but then why are they pushing ahead with the uber-machine when they can't deliver timely support for the machines already on sale?

It's not so much I think X1000 is a bad product. It's very desirable to me in its own way. I just question whether this is the best use of limited resources for the boost it gives to the platform.
