I remember when Gateway 2k said they were dropping AmigaOS and going Linux. That was the worst news. Then they decided to spring a grand total of $30,000 dollars to update the OS. Considering BE inc was in the red for 1 billion it was not much of an investment.
Anyway, I can't help but wonder how fast UAE would be on a 6 core rig. If 5 people use their X1000 money for a multicore UAE bounty thats over 10k. Seems like a better use of the money.
