Make a case for x86 Amiga OS

[ElPolloDiabl]

Let's stop bothering the X1000 people heat up this thread instead. No personal attacks. Make a case for or against your preferred platform.



I think BeOS had years to make an impact on PowerPC and got nowhere. It only picked up fans when it went x86. Amiga OS should do likewise.

Because most people (a majority) need an x86 system for work or study it's more convenient to use x86.

It has; it's called AROS.

I know, but the tail hasn't caught on yet.


As to name, go from spanish friend to french friend, how about Ami OS? Rex OS, Mans best friend.
Some more: OS Revolution. OS Mk2. Good O'S (name of a dog food). Thanks OS...

My Aros install works on my desktop, but I'm running it in Virtual PC. Try running it on MS Virtual PC and see if you have any luck.

Ask he who started the thread.  I am just following a theme, which is porting AmigaOS to x86.  I believe that the better discussion is porting to x64.  I could advocate AmigaOS or not AmigaOS.

x86 = x86-64

If it's ported there's no reason they can't can't share drivers and tools with AROS. It would be nice having the official version on x86-64 as a stamp of approval. Also you can brag to people that "Amiga is back" on the PC.
