OS4 on PS3

Amiga PS3

Hi all... I have noticed its a bit fanboyish in here, but I thought I had better give you the heads up on some serious discussions going on over at Amiga related sites.

Many of you will have heard of the Amiga as a computing and gaming platform... but a new version of the Amiga OS has been developed. Amiga OS4 runs on PowerPC architecture and the Cell (as int he CPU of the PS3) has a PowerPC core. Hyperion-Entertainment who are developing the AmigaOS 4 under license from Amiga, Inc. have made it clear on Amiga sites that support for the Cell CPU should be in an update to the OS, possibly or even probably this year.

Considering its intuitiveness, general ease of use and other benefits over Linux and Windows, putting the Amiga OS on the PS3 would be an absolute godsend and really psuh the PC out of homes... The Amiga after all was the king of the home computers before Commodore went bankrupt and a year later it was the original Playstation that benefitted from the developers and softcos.

Would you like to have Amiga OS 4 on your PS3?

Sad, and funny at the same time.  

He sounds so desperate, I'd almost sling him a fifty to go and get laid.

I could sling you a fifty too if it means I can stay...

Amen brother!

So long as there's a vocal, fanatical, puritanical, zealous element of the Amiga community it will never elevate beyond a obscure, proprietary hardware, niche platform.

Ah well, I could care less, Ive got Aros, Linux and XP with WinUAE all running on my Lappy.  Spoilt for choice!  

ps: Damn KDE is purdee and quick too.
