I would, I love PPC.  I bought two other PPC-based boards just this week.

Where on earth did you get that from?

If you want AmigaOS on x86, take a look at Aros.  They already have a head start, and it's looking good.

Not as it's a selling argument, but if you're into assembler programming, give PPC asm a try.  Compared to x86, it will knock you off the chair.

This is just getting too ridicilous, these are just your assumptions and speculations.

Where on power.org?  Please link directly to the article.

I can hardly imagine that they have to rewrite the entire OS just for a new-gen CPU.  They most likely will modify and recompile the existing code, which takes a fraction of the time required to rewrite the entire OS.
