How about getting AROS working properly on the Raspberry Pi and working on an integrated 68K JIT for ARM?

If I beleive that AOS.x is the official amiga, and it runs on PPC only, why would I then use money on CUSA rebranded x86HW?

No reason for you not to behave like an adult either.
The point jorkany is making is that AOS4.x is only official because some company bought the Amiga trademark and then said that it was official... If that is your logic then, CUSA are also producing official products.

I reality now, is that there isn't really an "official" AmigaOS... People can just use whatever they want to use.

The big question is "what problem does it solve"... In engineering almost anything is possible, but few things are actually useful :-/

My question wasn't meant as a criticism of HenryCase's idea, but more a suggestion to look at the problem from the other direction.

It's really fun to think about the technology, and what you could put together in an interesting way... But really when building a product, you need to find a core, basic need that is unforfilled and then try and meet that need in the simplest cheapest way... :)
