Well to take it back to what Piru said early in the thread. This whole X1000 story really does remind me of the "early bird" prgroma of the Teron aka "amiga1" I remember guys in my user group running linux with no OS4 for MONTHS on their boards (and the kernel was old )
My main concern or I guess question is how can you justify needing a board of this power and cost to run OS4? I mean what apps are there to really take advantage of PCI e gfx cards, super fast cpu, ram, etc? The only thing I hear ppl say it will speed up emu but that is daft because you can do it with a dirt cheap x86 pentium iv box and agp card... or better yet get a Real amiga classic.
Where are the new software devlopments? There are virtually none, not even good ports lately.
if X1000 were launched with OS 4.3 with Timberwolf 4 alpha and Open office alpha you would have something.. but a broken Os4 on the board and a half ass ppc linux for that cost is not a good business plan.
