Ah, the smell of vapourware in the morning....

If AmigaDos could be ported to Intel it could take advantage of the low price/performance ratio.  Maybe Hyperion could work out a deal offering AmigaDos as an option on EEE PC.  Clearly two ports would help.  OpenOffice 3 and Apple Webkit.  People might be willing to try an alternative OS if

1) they could have a full system for €300.
2) they can do word processing and web browsing
3) if they didn't like it they could run MS Windows or dual boot it

The 1300 figure has been hinted at by Acube.  Acube is a privately held company and therefore does not have to report sales figures.  Take it with a grain or two of salt.

You are right, 3000 max, which is still impressive for a machine that basically has no software to deal with the 21st Century....

at home.

But 10000 Users that uses Amiga daily or almost
daily, not a chance in the world. Cut the figure in half
and your more close to the truth. And I also believe it's not
possible to sell more than 3000 peices of something "Amiga"
even if the price would be right in 2008-2009.
