Wintel...there it goes again, the lack of definition between MS Windows and Intel x86 or AMD for that matter. The only reason PC's are the piles they are is because of WINDOWS! You don't hear Linux x86 users complaining about stability do you? No. Why? Because it is MS's fault that a PC can't run without an crash because the software running on it is garbage. AmigaOS is NOT garbage, and it will only be better with OS4, 5, 6, 22:-D...etc.. Thus is why I say I would love to see it on both, all, every CPU available, ala OS5. I don't even care if it is on a standard PC mobo, infact I hope not like the PPC AmigaONE's, there should/could (eventually) be a board with an x86 socket if you prefered it. But this argument that a PC is a pile of junk simply because of its CPU is absurd. A speedy PC is just that, its the bloated-slow-badly coded trash of an OS running on it that makes it bad. Unfortunately that is what most of us have to put up with now.
As far as voicing opinions way way back when the PPC boards started showing up, I don't recall one poll asking anybody what they wanted. (even if they asked then, we would have said PPC anyways) At the time, x86 was too slow to be used and Amiga users hated Intel because it represented the "other side" with Windows, so the natural choice was to simply avoid it. I highly doubt they could have forseen the x86 market exploding the way it did and the rather slow development of the PPC. But it is true, we are on this path and so we must follow it.
I will wait and see what users think of the AmigaONE's before I buy. If they are all saying "THIS ROCKS! It IS SOOOOO FAST!" I will get one, but if I hear otherwise I will wait until the next gen, or OS5 which ever comes first.
