Its over. Hyperion won!

We and AmigaOS are irelevant to the computing world. We are a niche. Which is gwrtting smaller all the time.
 
If it took hyperion 8 years or whatever is was to get from 68k to PPC (Not the bigest of leaps) then how long do you reckon it will take them to do 68k to x86 or ppc to x86 or x64, another ten years.
 
I really don't understand why everyone thinks hyperion are/will be the saviours of AmigaOS, because they are clearly not.

EDIT:  By the way I think MorphOS has the same problems in sticking with expensive old and hard to come by hardware that is dead as a desktop platform

Basically you have a somewhat modernised closed source OS with little or software to run. It's basically a hobby OS for people who like retro with a few modern conveniences tacked on. Your target audience is known, they basically all read Amiga.org and/or Amigaword.net. Now considering that why bother with porting to x86? Is anyone seriously going switch from a modern OS to this? The market is collectors, the market has money and the relative expense only makes it more attractive.

 
Don't get me wrong I am not saying that MorphOS or AOS should be ported to X86,X64 or ARM.  Its never going to compete in any real world market.  Keep it where it is.  I say stop dreaming that  Amiga will ever be what it was and what we loved.  It wont and cant happen.  Love it for what it is now .
