Amazing, that can run OS4.1-2?
From what Trevor was saying, it was highly questionable that the X1000 could either - as they said that was the first time it had ever booted on that hardware...
The question then becomes: Does OS4 offer enough incentive over and above something that can run UAE/Amithlon and OS3.9 as fast if not faster for a fraction of the cost? Hell even MorphOS running on a £40 eMac suddenly becomes a serious issue if you absolutely must have next gen software.
For a very select few that answer will be yes, I must have OS4, but even with this the X1000 has to compete against both the Sam440 and 460.
No matter how you try to paint it, the X1000 is in a very very weak position.
Fail to see how this has anything to do with the topic, you can not compare a PC to an X1000.
It has everything to do with the topic and the only reason you might fail to see it is if you're a zealot.
This machine is aimed at a hobbyist marketplace but at a cost usually associated with professional tools such as workstations. As a result you have anyone other than a zealot who will naturally compare what they would be getting with other offerings in the marketplace. In that light the X1000 compares very, very poorly.
I should really take my own advise and not bother posting (pointless).
When your position is as weak as yours is... I agree.
