The new Amigas are x86 based, they can run Windows but will more then likely be running Linux for the time being, or something else while running AOS 3.x series in emulation, just like how OS4 runs the AOS 3.x apps/games.


*sigh* I have plenty of apps from the 3.x series which don't need an emulated 3.x environment to run on my OS4 machine, and likewise under MorphOS. They do just fine with CPU emulation while using the native PPC OS functions and integrating to the point where it's impossible to tell which CPU they're compiled for. I still have yet to hear how that would be possible under Linux, Windows, or indeed any mysterious, yet-to-be-written OS for the new C-USA "Amigas". The emulation on any C-USA Amiga will be utterly different to that which is part of OS4 and MorphOS, and possibly AROS in the near future.

You do make some good points (hardware-banging software etc.), but it's a shame you have to bring this "new Amiga" stuff into every conversation, even when the topic most clearly is talking about the X1000. It seems like you take every opportunity to blow your C-USA trumpet in the faces of people who are actually aware of the facts, of the shortcomings of AmigaOS machines, but still want to use them for their hobby.
