What is the future of Amiga?

I would like to see Morthos combined with AROS  

The Projects have shared code already.

Matthew, your choice of answer has shocked me!

I expected "FPGA 68k hardware + AROS68k" or "x86 hardware + AROS" from you.

FPGA 68k + AROS68k will be for the retro dudes... X86 + AROS will be for the die hard nerds that want Amiga + grunt... But realistically the average Joe is going to want a free emulator they can run on their desktop, and have a little nostalgia trip once in a while

While it's not the answer I would dream of, it's the most realistic from my perspective.

Ask yourself, what can the Amiga architecture do that other machines can't presently ..?

Um... well... it can inspire a fanatical following... that's about all I can think of...

On the subject of nostalgia, then why if it's just for the sake of nostalgia do some of the same people who voted no go on about looking forward to the continuing development of AROS, MorphOS and different processors to run as an Amiga, thats not nostalgia thats looking forward.

Not really, it's about maintaining our hobby as the original machine fail. Like putting a Mazda mx5 engine into an old Triumph Spitfire, you do it because the engines are about the same size and built for a similar purpose, except the newer Mazda engine is more efficient, cheap spare parts and it basically bulletproof... So your old Spitfire can be enjoyed for a few more years (you can tell, I'm not a purist )
