What would an Amiga be today?

There was no winning scenario for the Amiga, it was a beautiful dream, it was so impossible that there isn't even a parallel world where Commodore or Amiga are still in existence.  

The Amiga graphics card was built onto the motherboard so it couldn't be easily upgraded and they tried to do the speciality chips themselves.  It was a closed system.  There was no development money to advance the OS.  

Amiga Inc knows this, that's why they know the "only way to win is not to play.."

A more interesting question is would any of us actually be interested in a modern Amiga?  The Amiga is part of an Elvis Presley/Marilyn Monroe world.  It died young and better than anything out there.  Or Perhaps James Dean.  At any rate, the Amiga we know and love is frozen in time, it's a solid '80s computer in what is almost the '10s..

Would any of us love an Amiga that ran on eight core Xeon chips, had a BSD base, required at least 2 GB of RAM  and used 512 Meg NVidia GForce 9500 video cards?  Isn't part of the charm of the Amiga that we use last century ideas like Megabytles of RAM, hard disks smaller than a DVD and floppy disks?

Amiga One wasoutdated technology when it was announced and it had no modern OS.  There's never been a vision driving the Amiga, a Steve Jobs who could drive Amiga forward.  The Amiga was born an advanced performance machine and just sat there waiting for the rest of the world to catch up and waved as they went passed.

There hasn't been one single technological advance by a company bearing the Commodore or Amiga name in almost two decades.
