I really don't see how some users can see this as a bad thing.

Look Trevor Dickinson Clearly knows what he is doing, he is a "business angel" and have been for many years, so I guess he knows how and where to invest.

because it is the standard answer when mentioning x86 port os4 fans mindlessly repeat. someone must have told them that. wonder who.

Going x86, wont magically give us a wide range of hardware to run on, it won't port new software, it won't expand the userbase..

Need proof? Look at Aros, look at any kind of obscure OS for the x86. Those OS's still needs drivers and devoted development.
Switching to x86 will not give us one more bit of software, unless some one ports it.

Need proof that cheap hardware won't expand the userbase, look at morphos.

If you do want free OS and free software, go for linux, I am not holding you back.

I on the other hand, do not mind paying for hardware and software.

My point is still valid, but when aros dominates the scene, then I would have to reconsider. But as you say aros is not the official amiga OS.

Cigarettes are more useful though.

You have a strange sense of humor.
