@All
The idea of selected x86 motherboards or even custom made ones, came about earlier too, but looking at Apple, makes me think Amiga prices would be at least a tad worst than them, which would relegate Amiga in the ususal price range.
Powerful PPC processor will come from free scale AFTER the 50x0 series (please don't mention that one or earlier models anymore as they make no sense for a 2014/15 computer) and will be better priced because of the incoming competition Freescale will have to face from intel.
Thus if all goes well we will have an X2000 which will be better priced and more powerful (also better "utilized" thanks to the advancements that will mature on the X1000).

And that's all there is folks, AmigaOS is on PPC right here right now (we don't need to port it there) and I'd rather see Hyperion spend their development time in adding features to it instead of embarking in another paralizing "porting effort", we already had those moments, it's time to move ahead (SW wise).

Whatever. It's very simple:

1. It's obviously a good idea that Germany and the EU develop an own OS.

2. If there are some real capable Amiga freaks left, they better get their ass up and try to convince Germany to spend many millions in the development of AmigaOS.

3. Linux freaks and any other OS fanatics can do as well - may the OS with the best future (the OS which can be developted best to an ideal) win.

For someone to be able to claim AmigaOS being better than (f.ex.) Linux, he must know absolutely nothing about computers in general. (Or resort to lies.)


I certainly would not like to see AmigaOS tied into any politics. Phoo-Yuk.

However, for my purposes - - - -

No, you got it wrong way around.

AmigaOS is better than (f.ex.) Linux. And that's because I do know something about the way
computers work in general and how I want mine to work in particular.
