A suggestion for the new AmigaOne X1000

Amiga doesn't do groundbreaking any more.  Sorry.

kolla said developers, OS 4's many, many missing features may or may not be a deal breaker  for some users, but they are for developers.  Have you ever thought about developing for modern machines?  There's a whole host of features available that just aren't there for OS 4.  It's far more difficult to develop for OS 4 and then the entire target audience would be able to be seated comfortably in your average McDonalds or Hungry Jacks...

Yep, the only thing protecting OS/4 from viruses and worms galore is obscurity.  Remove that and you've got the perfect host.  Fortunately there's really no danger of that....

With the current number of Amiga users you are right, but IF (big if i know) it became a mainstream OS the lack of modern features would make it a hackers dream. We currently have security by obscurity but without protected memory, multi-user etc writing exploitations would be fairly simple and very dangerous online.

But as for a Amiga games console, thats probably the daftest proposal I've heard in a long time, does the proposer know that Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo all sell there consoles at a loss relying on licensing software to generate income, the complete opposite to hyperions business model which is overpriced hardware and no software.

It would be very sneaky to go for honesty!
