Comparing Apples and Amigas

[A6000]

The Apple macintosh started with 68k processors, changed to PPC and are now using X86, they have also used several operating systems, yet the community prospers, so why is it so hard for the Amiga community to get along with Amiga users who have chosen to use slightly different hardware or OS variants?

But if Commodore had not gone under, it would have switched to Hombre using a PA 7150 chip and AmigaOS 4, so what is so wrong about what A-EON has done? (except the price).

But wasn't the plan, to use the Hombre just for a new game console call it "CD33".
Which was a side project and unrelated to AMIGA?

Wasn't the plan for AMIGA was to bring out AAA?

From what I have read, Commodore had money troubles and delayed development of AAA until it was practically too late, they then realised it was too late, cancelled AAA and started on Hombre, which was also too late and the company folded.
If Commodore had better management they would have brought out a AAA based Amiga at the right time and continued selling Amigas, they did licence the Z8001 processor for use in another aborted project so they could have licenced the 680x0 and made it part of future chipsets.
It is amazing how these management types believe they are worth million dollar paychecks with absolutely no evidence to back up their demands.

Nothing is wrong with what A-Eon has done. Wrong is an opinion.

To go back to your original question and my original answer. Because now there is so many variations available of what is now "Amiga", along with that comes so many different opinions. And with the internet now allowing everybodies opinion to become easily known, they do just that. And people read and respond. That is what causes "discussions" on it all.

But, if there was one. And one only. And no more than one. And I mean ONE only company that completely owned E V E R Y T H I N G that is Amiga, and THEY dictated what an Amiga is to the world, there would probably be much less "discussion". Because there would only be one "Amiga". And not 3152 incarnations to compare and "discuss".

Make sense?

My opening post was really asking "if Apple owners can accept the changes to their platform, why can't Amiga users do the same".

There is no single company, but we should be able to deal with that and move on as a fairly united community.

EDIT, There is no single company in the PC market either.

Is 68k emulation on NG Amigas good enough to create a virtual 68k platform that is compatible with classic machines to the extent of running classic software, only faster?
Is it possible that the various APIs can evolve into a unified API across all Amigas or are we stuck with systems that will never be compatible.
