I likee Windows 7 its a good OS.  Get over it microsoft haters.
 
And I may be wrong but Im pretty sure the sam boards were not created specfically for AOS4.   So  AOS4 has had no new hardware since AmigaOne and its been ported to a MorphOS board :)

Isn't it just as insane as making crappy os'es that's lightyears behind the rest? but i suppose that can be seen as a value by some.

 
Are you saying the MorphOS is lightyears behind other OS and crappy ?
 
Some examples please

Arm seems to be going from strength strength.  This is what rumoured to be in new Sony PSP2 in 4 core version.

I would see ARM as maybe being the future for both camps

In powerpc amiga terms, I am still using a 603e, therefore by the "law of trying to compensate for other inadequacies", I clearly have the biggest manhood.

300EUR (incl. German VAT of 19%) is my maximum. That would be 5 times the price of an D510 itx-Atom board (which all in all is better spec'd than the Sam460).

That would be interesting to know. Some ppl claim they do, but there is very little evidence for that on the net...

Not everything is put on the net for everyone to find out mind you.

By the time its released I would imagine the last of the line of the PPC macs will be supported, and from what I can gather there will be very little difference between them and the X1000, excepet of course about £2k in price :)

I think you are wrong. The Mac will actually be faster in real world use and fell faster due to MoprhOS being a quicker OS than AOS4.
 
I go into troll mode with you when I get bored of your views which you dont ever back up with actual evidence. And jsut to remind myself and other people the rubbish you are capable of coming up with.
 
The Mac Mini video bus is the weak link.   But thats not an issue on other macs.

I think Piru is saying he does not get paid at all for being a MorphOS dev, pretty easy to understand I think
