A lot of us have been clamouring for Hyperion to release a version of AmigaOS 4 for ARM based systems for years. Many many years.
PowerPC is very nice and all that, but the truth is that it is very expensive and niche. Amiga boards are actually dual-purpose embedded system hardware - so hopefully very reliable, but also gaining all the downsides of those systems (lack of features, etc).
We all know that it's not going to happen, but AROS is migrating to lots of systems right now, and is looking pretty useful. Barrier to entry is very low. RISC OS probably has far more users now because of the Raspberry Pi than AmigaOS ever wlil (and no, the RPi is clearly not going to be as good as an A1 X5000, but the order of magnitude price difference (nearly two orders of magnitude) is a major bonus.
