BeOs didn't succeed with x86. Some developers said that those who has originally used BeOs started to use window/Linux and stopped to support original BeOs apps because everythig was easier with Windows/Linux.

Custom hardware is good choise, there woun't be any benefits to go x86/x64

Custom hardware makes Amiga special and force people who has it to use it. (Yes I know there is linux distro for ppc)

You are force to use Amiga Os with original commodore hardware? Amiga is hobby Os and custom hardware gives more "hobby value" to it.

And now is also proved that it is possible to produce PPC hardware less than 100€.
