I was a long time Amiga user, since the A500 to the A4000T. I'm a software developer. I like and use and develop for MacOS X. I develop cross-platform Java software at work. I love Linux, but don't think it will become a mainstream OS any time soon. I believe the AmigaOS could be a great OS to join Windows, MacOS X and Linux in the big league. I would love to support a new crop of Amigas with AmigaOS 4.
But I don't believe in a dedicated hardware platform. That would be just to expensive to put out on the market and would act as a barrier to the platform. We have probably seen this already with the AmigaONE.
My question:
Is there ever going to be an AmigaOS running on a generally available and easy to purchase hardware platform (be it x86, the PlayStation3, Apple Macs or anything else)? What I'm really asking is if Amiga Inc. will allow this to ever happen legally?
Thanks!
