Re: Amiga OS - Why on custom architecture?

This was repeated over and over again but the main reason is that Amiga OS 4.x is intended to be a compelling solution for PowerPC embedded systems solutions.

Anybody in his right mind who believes that it is a wise strategy to go head to head with Windows (and to a lesser extent MacOSX and Linux) on x86 hardware is in need of a remedial economics class.

I must admit is is rather tiring to go over these same arguments again and again especially because some people are stuck in the desktop fantasy whilst the desktop market is insignificant in size compared to the embedded systems market, even when shrunk down to the multimedia enabled embedded systems market.
