If someone truely wanted to honor the Amiga, is would be to write an Amiga type OS on the x86 platform.
Not compatable with the old amiga's apps, but in the spirit of what was probably the best ever OS to grace a home computer.
Windows sucks, badly.
Linux is nice and all, but as a desktop it will probably never become anything decent.
I say do it OS X style, take a great Unix base and build up the New Amiga OS.
Screw needing to spend money on new hardware, screw these promises that are nothing but wishful thinking.
I know it's not going to happen, but it's what I think would be best anyways.
but then, you never know. If the bases of an OS that wasn't bloatful, and ran fast in very little memory, got spread around that ran on machines people owned, their might be more people into working on it.
But like I said, won't happen. People with the money want to waste it on exotic hardware that no one owns, or can afford to buy, or stupid plans that really have no chance of working.
If the people who own Amiga now really cared about those of use who have been using them for the last couple of decades, they would of made development for it as cheap as possible, if not free to download.]
So accept that we are on our own, like we have been for the last decade.
If people are serious about some sort of modern Amiga, thats fine, but be smart about it. It's not about the hardware anymore, those days have been long over, it's all about the OS and a low cost.
