Way too underpowered !
What people not seem to understand is it does not matter how fast and efficient your operating system is - if applications use alot of resources they need the resources !
Geez - were not super optimizing 68k assembler apps anymore - look where that got us for portability !
Applications today are a different beast they need the power - hardware mhz and GFX grunt.
Games and apps these days are so complex, just the AI alone for some games would make our systems crawl, not to mention the hours it would take for compiling software.
Software houses have standards, they want to port to Amiga, they look at the Hardware and just say - nah, nope, my developers would take too long waiting for the hardware to do the things they need done.
Boss - 'Port this game to Amiga', developer - 'sorry it will take too much time optimizing or removing features'.
Dont limit the creative freedom of developers by hardware constraints.
How many of you know that OpenOffice has its own BASIC programming language (that one can program) to automate record tasks ?
UltraEdit also has Perl scripting language built in for automation ! We are not talking some basic text editor here, its one of the most powerful in the world.
Give people the hardware, they will find a way to max it out
