No ! Sacrilege.

Amiga was based on TripOS - a mainframe supercomputer. Amiga is supposed to be different, super optimized, efficient, multitasking, state of the art technology and concepts to blow competition away for years.

What we need is a chipset or virtual chipset with RTG, hardware accelerated direct to GFX card. Let people 'bang the metal' using the AVC (Amiga Virtual Chipset) using standardized API for GFX, media encode/decode MP4/AVI/7.1 surround s and a Virtual Processor Assembly codebase with plugin support.

Yes, we need a Virtual Cross Platform Assembler, Cross Amiga Assembler + script support. With this, users can create addons to extend the language for every area and never worry about efficiency or compatibility. The code will just compile like AMOS 'just works' Magic.
