Ofcourse I'll pay $1500 for a computer that does not even have a real browser,

errr!!!! last time i cheked browsers come with the OS, i didn´t know that there were browsers that run directly from the hardware  :roll:  :-P

A better comparison in this case would be to compare the new Amiga to the new G5 price when it came out, and sonofabitch, the Amiga is a LOT cheaper.

Comparing a prebuilt Amiga to your homebrew PC is just ludicrous, even silly.  Different worlds entirely.

Certain people will complain even if they sell hardware for free.this people are not interested, they are here only to bother it´s their way of masturbation

build OS5 on QNX, why? QNX is aready a very good os with out anything "built on it", this is just retarded.

This comment really show that the retard is you, first that is like saying to apple: "Build macos x on top of BSD why? BSD it´s already a very good OS" and all we know how more good and different is Macos X from BSD.

And second QNX it´s basically an embedded OS and the UI part is not as developed as any of the mainstreamed OS.So if you get the QNX kernel and put on top a good GUI and API (ie Amiga) you *could* get a even more good OS than QNX.

said this, yes, QNX is really good together with BeOS and AmigaOS the best OSs ever made IMHO

Do some research on what MacOS X is built on and you will realise why that was a particularly poor example.

From Wikipedia:

Mac OS X is based on the Mach kernel and is derived from the BSD implementation of Unix in NEXTSTEP

It´s based on nextstep that is based (or uses lage parts of BSD):

# Apple Inc.'s Darwin, the core of Mac OS X; built on the XNU kernel (part Mach, part FreeBSD, part Apple-derived code) and a userland much of which comes from FreeBSD

# NeXT NEXTSTEP and OPENSTEP, based on the Mach kernel and 4BSD; the ancestor of Mac OS X

It´s based or it´s not based?

The case is that you can get a superb OS and make another one better using parts of it, or on top of it.It was a response to the guy that says that QNX is good and why make another OS on top of it.And i put the MAcOSx example.Nor i compare AmigaOS with Macosx nor i say A inc is capable of do the same work as Apple.I talking about theory that you can get a very good OS and make on top of it another one better with the feel and good ideas of a preexisting one (like apple did)
