Amiga's Grand Plans Revealed

OK, the ppl who want AmigaOS on Intel should be happy: here we have a public statement by the Guy In Charge (tm) saying that OS5 will support x86. It will take a year and a bit, but IMHO this is better. Odds are much higher this way that we'll have AmigaOS on a 'good' i86 (itanium) rather than the baggage-ridden 80x86.
 

The "baggage-ridden" X86 is for running legacy software investments.  

Itanium is not considered as the true X86 successor unlike AMD’s K8 Hammer series CPUs (X86-64).

Again, I hope he's been misquoted. Otherwise he's spitting right in the face of Bill Mueller and the other Mai Logic engineers. "No, you didn't design your board, it's our spec, our design."

Well, the original Amiga Inc(later CBM) designed the “Amiga” while Motorola designed the main CPU.

I think Bill McEwen was referring to the complete packaged solution, NOT just the components.

MAI’s chipsets alone doesn’t deliver the Amiga™ solution.
