This article adds little to no value to anything whatsoever. What a waste of time reading it. A "toy operating system" - well that goes well to say what the author is writing for and what he thinks of Amiga OS. He's nothing but a hobbyist who wants to try and play with an OS. I have news for you pal, get yourself UBuntu, its free and you get free software. Amiga platform is like Apple/Mac. If you want Mac OS X you need to buy their hardware. Yes, they do have it running on X86 now, but the hardware is still Apple's. PPC is the natural evolution, and you're mistaken that you need Ghz and gigabytes of memory for OS4.
Any X86 port, would mean the end of Hyperion, and OS4 and any OS4 development. I can just see the hundreds of folks who are downloading the iso off piratebay. The serious users who see OS4 as a serious OS, will buy the hardware and software. The freeriders will stay out. The cost of hardware and software is used to offset the development cost (it's not just the price of a cd!)
End of discussion. But hey, everyone is entitled to an opinion no matter how smart/stupid it is. :-D
PS needless to say, even OS4 for Sam has already leaked out. Way to go, don't blame the companies that support amiga, when one day, nothing will be sold or available and AMIGA OS will rest in peace for the last time.
