The day OS4 or MOS gets ported to x86 I'll care, before that it's just a waste of a lot of money on expensive hardware. Money should go to coders, people that code the OS and people that build applications or port them and not to pay for product development of obscure hardware. The world have large companies that already are competing and are good at building hardware. It should not matter if it's x86 or not, that's just a stupid 80's thing from the PC vs Amiga vs Mac era.

I hope you're not suggesting it's a hobby computer. You're taking a risk, all h*lls could break loose. :-)

If only more people could understand that it's Aros that needs to be backed up. Aros have fought the up hill battle for so long and finally it starts to feel like a modern Amiga. I don't want Aros to be "Amiga" I don't need the name, I just need the feeling. I want Aros to be "just Aros" an Amiga inspired OS.

You won't see Amiga OS4 on x86 ever (ok in my life time then), that's why I lost interest in OS4 ages ago. I refuse to pay for overpriced hardware that is overpriced only because it's produced in so small quantities that it makes it expensive. What's the point in that ? I might as well give that 400 euros (only a guess) extra  I pay directly to a developer instead or to a bounty to gain something software wise. That would be better.

I tried AROS/icaros desktop several times, last time was about three weeks ago. It was balls. Whoever made that skin and icon pack needs to be led out back and shot. 3.1 code compatibility isn't there yet, it can't naively run 68k or ppc apps and probably won't ever, and the list of non-iMica hardware for it is about the same size as a receipt from kfc.

AROS would be great if somebody put some money behind it. Nobody has. So it's the worst amiga system there is. It's literally better to steal an old PC out of a skip and put WinUAE on it.

Sure, that is why I asked people to support it, join the effort, code, donate whatever. Don't you think it can get better ?
