Amiga One X 1000 and Xena/Xorro

[Niding]

I would starting by removing all references to the feature until it actually serves a purpose. Don't get me wrong I am sure there are many X1000 users but how many of them are actually using Xena/Xorro?

Removing all refrences to a feature makes absolutely no sense. If people bitch about Xena/Xorro being undersupported, how would hiding the fact that the hardware "feature" is available? How would that help support for it?

As for the whole discussion about why Trevor and CO designed the X1000 as they did, it really sounds like the discussion Ive read 1000 times on this and other forums. "X1000 is too expensive and horrible perfromance!!" and then the same posters go ahead and discuss Classic hardware without skipping a beat. Investing anything into Classic hardware makes absolutly NO sense from a price vs performance point of view.
Still people do it (including me).
Why? Cause it is fun? Cause someone actually find productivity usage for it WHILE having fun?
I personally just decided to upgrade the A1200 the way I wanted back in the days, but couldnt afford. The c64/a500 generation is pushing 30++ years and generally in a financial position to spend money on "entertainment" without breaking the bank.

The way I see it, Trevor and Co gave anyone intrested another hardware option to invest in. Find it too expensive? There is 440/460. Not into PPC? There is Classic hardware (which Amigakit and Trevor has supported).
I doubt Trevor had any illusions about a massive market that suddenly would spark a flood of drivers. He followed his vision, provided those intrested with ONE MORE hardware option.

But tearing down is easier than building up, so carry on.

Well I'm confused! Is the CBM marketing department back in business?

Marketing a feature that has no real value on a high end machine (well is that what the X1000 was/is supposed to be) does not make sense. No amount of promotion or rubbishing of the Xena/Xorro interface is going to change the lack of support.

The best Trevor and co can do is to quietly remove the feature from  their advertising and move forward in selling the X1000 on it's strengths not weaknesses.

I think Lyles post was quite clear; the hardware feature (or whatever YOU want to call it); feel free to use it to whatever you want/can.
Hardly hiding the fact that development for that chip is slow and would greatly benefit from users turning developers.
But reading these posts I do kinda understand why he doesnt bother getting involved much with forums in general.

Well, while Im not a X1000 user I do appriciate the drive those that develop the hardware and software around it got.

They have a vision, and have the drive to see it thru.
The most of us are just tag alongs that like to nitpick on other peoples accomplishment.

Tear people down to feel equal?

Constructive critizism is very important in a development process. But sometimes I feel like when people ssolie, Trevor, Lyle etc gets involved with comments, its either ignored or taken out of context/twisted.
