Since all these "ifs" are just "ifs", and given Amiga Inc's previous track record, the best bet IMHO would be for Amiga Inc to call it quits, and open source the Amiga IP (both software and hardware), therefore giving it to a group that cares, e.g. the community, to do something that's actually useful.

Otherwise, there will just be more announcements about yet more overpriced and underspecced motherboards running an old fashioned overpriced OS that just happens to have an "Amiga" name on it.

As for the dead horses, well, this subject has been discussed just a few times!

Realistically, A.Inc will do nothing, as before, and AROS will be the only hope.

Just my 2c!

£150/US$300 seems a high price to pay for an OS that only really runs a meagre handful of applications... (sorry for the very poor pun!)

What would others pay?

I'd pay an absolute maximum of £200/US$400 (inc taxes) for a bundle with an x86 EPIA miniITX board and OS4, if such a thing was ever to exist, but certainly no more than that...
