I have Amiga forever & I bought a licensed, legal version of AO 4.1 FE.
This may sound stupid but can the OS be developed for the x86_64 CPU's?
Yes it can , only Hyperion dont think thats a good business plan.
But an x86_64 version, I could enjoy multibooting into the OS on my system at home.
You any many others desire this , but due to the Hyperions stance on this the only way you are going to be able to achieve this is using AROS . An Open Source implementation of AmigaOS.
In the long run AROS will still be standing when Hyperion are dead and buried as the source code is legally available and distributable to the public. Theres also the fact that commodity X86 hardware is much less expensive. This makes the barrier to entry a much more reasonable proposition .
But Hyperion dont care about that nor listen to the wishes of the Amiga Community.
