Am I missing something? There's a killer app only available on AmigaOS that you can't get with a free operating system?
WHY would anybody pay for AmigaDOS as opposed to installing Linux for free? That is the question. Get the answer right, and you might just sell AmigaOS to new users.
3D printing is moving to 32 bit processors. AmigaOS is still (largely) a 32 bit operating system. This does make sense, at least to investigate.
Well, it's a lot easier to convince people to pay for just an OS that they can run on their existing machine, rather than convincing them to buy a $2,000 computer so they can run said OS.
I think if the OS cost <$100, many would try it out of sheer curiosity.
I really see no reason to stick with PPC for AmigaOS. X86 (and ARM) won. I think any mid-range X86 CPU and above could emulate PPC at acceptable speed. Apple did it on Core 2 CPUs back in 2006. It wouldn't have to emulate an entire system (like UAE), just translate the CPU instructions.
