1)No new hardware to run amigaos 4.0.
2)Expensive hardware obtainable from ebay for high prices.
3)Outdated hardware that can't follow web advancement.(can you surf and browse sites such as youtube,facebook myspace etc?)
4)No support from the game industry (can you run world of warcraft for example)
Practically for me one must be very enthusiastic retro lover to spend cash on amiga os 4.0 machines.Too expensive.
I understand that it runs very well on that hardware and that amiga never needed many mhz to do wonders but hey it is 2008 not 1998!.
PPC platform -with the exception of PS3- is dead.
So Amiga os 4.0 can't do much.And won't do much with competition.On the other hand that's not entirely bad.
Previous years i was more optimistic for amiga future,but as time passes i only see amiga as an emulator hobby.Pc machines are so cheap to get and with few money you can easily setup a powerful machine with windows xp or linux and run UAE.Emulated amiga will be lights of years ahead more fast than any 68040 based machine.
Bill the owner of amiga inc is not different that Doomy.At least doomy has a descent website full of crap but way better than this pathetic thing called
http://www.amiga.com .
Let's hope aros does something in the end.
Amiga os 4.0 machines are just an expensive hobby for us.So no i won't take it.
