Sorry, but you're being ignorant. I have to be blunt here: you'd need to get some perspective on real security, management tools, deployment, support and requirements before you can start touting AmigaOS as solution to anything other that nostalgia itch.
If Windows is a sandwich, Linux is bread and butter (some assembly is required), AmigaOS is a bag of flower (pray to not get food poisoning) you'd rather not to use. There are so many steps before this can be turned into sandwich. No sane person would use AmigaOS for antyhing other than old school fun. Last edited by opi on 17-Apr-2011 at 03:10 PM.

Amiga, though, is a different story, no?

dunno about the analogy, but the sentiment is about right. i use AOS for enjoyment, not for work. that being said, i do a ton of sound-editing on my SAM with HD-rec, among others.
there seems to be a disconnect between those who think the amiga platform should continue on its own particular path and those who want to see the platform scrapped and the brand transitioned to a commodity platform (not that commodity platforms are bad, mind you). there will never be agreement between those who hold views on different sides of that divide. this conversation keeps happening over and over and over again. i would think folks would understand that they will not convince the holder of the opposite viewpoint.
@thread
as for power.org members providing desktop-class performance at prices conducive to the consumer marketplace, i think some might be surprised at what is available (and how competitive it is) by 2H 2013. that doesn't mean that all of a suddent AOS (or MOS, for that matter) becomes competitive in the consumer space; but it does mean our hobby can continue. freescale does have some very nice kit on offer currently, and for DAXPY-like workloads, i.e., stream-oriented, they will perform very well indeed.
also keep in mind that public pricing of microelectronics parts -- especially from freescale -- should be taken with a grain of salt.

Well, perhaps your comment will spur the guys in charge (to improve/promote AmigaOS).
I'm pretty used to people without any clue, so you can be as blunt as you want.

You know I'm not saying you can't do anything on AmigaOS. I say there's no place for AmigaOS in any situation where security or manageability is required.
People seems to be scared by "hobby OS" term. It's like denial: "No, it's still good, it's still good -- we can be mainstream. Ha ha. Windows sucks.". Sure it is. It's still fun. There's nothing bad in having computer related hobby. Sure, I'd love to see it more accessible (upfront payment of 1K Euro is no-go) but it's still here to entertain us. If someone says he don't want to see submarine with Windows I can only hope no weapon would ever run AmigaOS in current state._________________ OpenWindows Initiative. Port PS3 hardware to bananas.

Economy is rotten and going to get worse. More people rent now, compared to own. His business plan is surely partially based on that fact.

You can look at the devices proposed as simply business market informational gathering instruments, or you can look at them as perhaps government agencies do.
Either way, he's not the 1st and only one to have presented this idea.

absolutely.
and it's a very enjoyable hobby, as is, i would imagine, the other amiga-like platforms. folks shouldn't be embarassed about this at all. it's a lovely little piece of kit and quite a lot of fun. it's not suited for production work on a large-scale, and i don't imagine the developers would disagree. it might be one day, but that's not really the point. you can do tons of personal work on AOS/MOS, but deploying it in a commercial environment, or hoping for mass consumer appeal is a little unrealistic for the moment.
and that's not necessarily something to shy away from or try and hide. this is supposed to be fun; no one said anything about appealing to 'the masses.'

Oh well, never mind. 
Reading between the lines, I have my own interpretation of what's going on and I guess that Hyperion, A-Eon and ACube are doing what they are doing not because they're stupid, but because that's what can be done within limitations of law, finance and time.
But that's just my opinion, and therefore its just more fuel for this particular fire.
@eliyahu
That's the right attitude to have, if you ask me. We should just have fun using what we want to use.
There's actually no ideological difference worth fighting over between the X1000 and Natami - they're both designed to be the machines that their creators want to use. In other words, fun machines. Pick one, have fun.Last edited by T-J on 17-Apr-2011 at 03:45 PM.

I can't argue your conclusion. Again, judgment is NOT settlement. Settlements are tested, we've seen that, and it continues...

Another Amiga reality is that most of the legacy software for Audio & Video was done to support a custom piece of hardware built by the same company specifically for the Amiga or the Amiga custom chipset.

You can't possibly build up anything,if your OS lack most features,almost any other OS under the sun,had for years,and not to talk about the software base... Do you really think it would help to sell 6-7 years old hardware for 1500-2000 euro? No matter how you look at it,AmigaOS would be better of if it was open sourced,and run on cheap hardware |
Yes! and we could call it something like Amiga opensouRce Operating System.. or AmigaROS!! That would surely sell in minions!! Last edited by Amigo1 on 17-Apr-2011 at 04:17 PM. Last edited by Amigo1 on 17-Apr-2011 at 04:17 PM.

It's great to read Dave's comments.
But I can't understand all this neverending discussion...
I own a brand new Sam460 and I am a OS-4 beta-tester, but at the sametime I have a MacMini running MOS2.7 demo and Acer Aspire for Icaros 2.6. They are all fun. They have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Well, none of the options will take over the world, we still have to use Windowze at offices, but at least we have choices in Amiga-like systems.. It is a better place for people with Amiga-passion then 3 or 4 years ago..
