"You're short-sighted reasoning above almost contradicts what Amigans have been fighting for all this time."
What Amigans have been fighting for? Do you mean to say that all Amigans wanted the PPC over the x86? I for one did not and still to this day loath the fact the Ainc decided to go that route instead of just using what was readily available and cheaper when considering price/performance. Also I am obviously not alone otherwise a project like AROS would never have gotten off the ground, to not only bring an Amiga like OS to the x86 but many other platforms as well.
Choosing to support the x86 for OS4 would have ticked off a lot of people out there who have PPC's in their classics, but the vast majority of Amigas never were and never will be equipped with a PPC and having to buy a new proprietary PPC motherboard is not what I consider progress over what was already available for classic Amiga's. Amiga WAS a hardware/software combination...but that died a long time ago and I wish they would have let it be and just moved it on as a Software only concept instead of wasting resources chasing the dream of another "Amiga" as a machine. A wonderfully crafted OS like AmigaOS can make up for the x86's shortcomings as I have seen with AROS which is who I choose to support.
