Hi

Where do you think Amiga will be in 10 years time.

I start it of

Vampire in SOC
morphos X64
Friendup and AmigaOS merge together

In court, probably.

Only constant of the world of Amiga.

The classic platform will be as it is now only that the Vampire will be the best solution as it will be the most powerfull and most compatible. If Vampire finds a way to go realy low in price there could be a retro platform for more than die hard Amiga users.

MorphOS and Amiga NG will die with the PPC but still be used by some.

AROS will live and hopefully be much more popular than now with the Pi and version for AMD64.
As you know AROS is open source. That means it will always be possible to work on. Not saying it could be completely abandoned but it at least makes the platform more future proof.

AROS will also live as hosted and as a viritual platform as it is now.

Offcourse it will Over Rule Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, Huawei etc.

We will have the killer app and it works in the new and old. The new is so cheap that forget the old.

Nobody wants to print and net in the pc as it is so old fashioned.

What/who do you serve?

About 3 years from now, a new company with some serious funding will start hiring outside-the-box thinkers in the field of hardware, OS, and software design. Their mission will be to start the 3rd Computer Revolution, and what they will build will be every bit as industry defining as the Amiga was back in the late '80s.

About 5 years from now, the new company (lets call it XYZ) will launch its development hardware and a revolutionary new operating system called ABC. It will work with a select group of hardware OEM partners to develop a new hardware ecosystem.

During the 3 to 5 years from now, XYZ will have purchased/licensed/hired a lot of what the Amiga Community of today consider part of their ecosystem. XYZ will mention in the press how they were inspired by the Amiga computer of the '80s and how it wants some of that DNA to be part of its new system. The community will not be pleased and they will most likely decry XYZ for not being a true Amiga, since it will not run Amiga OS applications and games from the '80s and '90s without the use of an emulator.

About 7 years from now, XYZ will bring to market its new consumer hardware paradigm. Most people that might still consider themselves part of the Amiga Community will purchase a XYZ system. The reasons being: They'll be able to tinker; they'll be able to avoid running macOS, Windows, Linux; and they'll be able to easily afford it.

10 years from now, XYZ systems will have found their ways into most aspects of personal and professional computing. They will spark a new age of technology creativity with children and adults of all ages. Apple and Microsoft will adjust their existing operating systems or develop new operating systems to be relevant in the early years of the 3rd computer revolution. Though it won't upset the market share positions of Microsoft and Apple, it will inspire a new generation of loyalists to its platform: Not because of what it is, but because of who it let them be. I can't think of anything that's more Amiga than that.

I look forward to a time when "Amiga" will replace Android in our mobile devices. We will have access to all available forms of mobile communications and entertainment. Our devices at home will all be able to communicate with each other, allowing us to transfer apps and content back and forth without pausing or stopping or rebooting. For example, watching the big game on the TV, move to mobile device without pausing.

LOL that's hilarious.

@g01df1sh


"Classic Plus" will be served by the then-newly-released Vampire Standalone. Thousands of units sold to date. (Please let me be wrong about the timing)

"Classic Gaming" will be served by a sub 100-dollar "Amiga Mini" which will basically be a Raspberry Pi Zero Six Model G with an injection molded case and a software wrapper for Cloanto ROMS. Ten thousand units sell across the globe; fans hope there is enough interest to prompt one more production run, but the volumes demanded by the novelty electronics manufacturer in Shenzen make it unlikely.

"Amiga OS 4" will be at 4.3, which includes a promise of planned support for an upcoming FPGA-based implementation of PowerPC that has been announced by Apollo. Amiga OS 4.3 will only be verified as having been used by 28 people - half of whom are the development team, and one of whom writes for Ars Technica.

"Amiga NG - other" will be AROS running natively on Raspberry Pi. AROS community will fork itself as battles between x86 and ARM lovers intensify. Each side will claim "dozens" of users.

Yeah, I'd buy one of those.

I think in 10 years:

-"NG" Amiga projects will have been abandoned due to the slow pace of development and lack of interest/user base. People have realized tha the Amiga will never be "reborn" as a modern platform, as even with a small head-start in the 1980's, you can't catch up with 35 years of evolution.

-Functioning "classic" Amiga systems will have gotten a lot rarer and will be many times more expensive, as the custom chips themselves begin to decay and die and spares get harder to find. This causes the market for mods, hardware, new cases etc. to shrink as there are fewer and fewer working/repairable Amigas in the world.

-Continued interest in enjoying the classic Amiga "as it was", rather than trying to turn it into something it never was. Maybe a VR recreation of your old kid's room from when you were a child, including your A500 and CRT TV, the box of floppies etc.

Everyone comes to there senses and uses AROS as the basis for all flavours and shares there code and creates a Linux type world with different distributions and branding.

Well you did say a bit of fun.

Aros would be nice if they gave the gui a big overhaul. Then again why bother might as well wait for morphos to go x64

In 10 years time we will all be 10 years older.

Our children will love Amigas (if we've done our job ) and will continue the task of challenging the brainless content consumption using modern technology that is now rife.

The computer coding, art and experimentation of the past will become mainstream again and the Amiga must be part of it.

Classic machines will be struggling with capacitor health and bit-rot will continue destroying floppy discs (my copy of MK2 will definitely not work ).

Trevor will have unified the different streams of Amigadom and we will all be supportive of Amiga NG even if we cling to 68k for nostalgia.

Windows 10 and MacOS will implode in the home market due to bloat and unrequested phone-type features that appeal to no one. A niche is opened up again for a 'proper' fun home computer and the Amiga gets its niche back

We are using Amiga OS 3.2.x on new 68k based hardware (Vampire in SOC).

In addition, "Amiga OS 5.x" runs on ARM and you can choose between RPi and a custom ARM motherboard which comes with Amiga graphics hardware (spinoff from Vampire) and an almost modern graphics card. Most likely it is based on AROS as the owners could not agree and continue their battles in court.

@Amigo1

hmm let my guess here..
aros an classic will merge together... but with noo new softwere
morphos will get poorly portet to x64 but needs drivers.
amiga os 4.x has moved to arm but has runned out of money and stuck,in court..and softwere will slowly come...

Why would we downgrade to AmigaOS 3.2.x when we already have OS 3.9?
