Still trying to justify an $800 motherboard. What sort of productivity software is in the offing? Games that aren't ports of old games for other OS's? What's worth $800?
If you are this hesistant over buying it I think you shouldn't. Amiga One and OS4 just try to bring an updated Amiga to Amiga-fans. It is the first step and we can only expect new software to appear for it some time after OS4 has been released. Just wait a bit longer until AOS5 is out and application are coming in. In the meantime you buy that PC and when that one is outdated (shouldn't be much more than a year :-)) some true apps for the next generation of Amiga's might have appeared.
If you buy it now, while you think it is expensive and on top of that there's no new software for it, you're not going to like it and you're probably not the kind of person the A1 and OS4 is targetted at at this time.
I think the people buying an AOne should be completely in love with anything Amiga and/or want to help build a future for this machine by writing software for it.
Personally I can't wait for AOS4 to be finished, because I'll buy an Amiga One then. Although I need AOS4.2 for Amiga-Anywhere to be included, since that's what I'm currently developing for.
Just my 2 cents.
Onno
PS: Couldn't help myself with that PC outdated in a year crap.. not trying to start a flamewar... I've been working on the same PC for well over a year although I had to add a new processor, new memory and a new video-card to keep up to date a PC can INDEED work for you much longer than a year :-P
