Hope AROS for the 460 works better than the 440 version.  From start to finish that has been completely nonfunctional for me, cannot even install it.

Actually, while it might appear that "AROS stole the show",this has to be the least important announcement of those three. I mean, seriously, are you going to buy an overpriced Acube board to run AROS at 1/3 the speed you could run it on much cheaper X86 hardware?

Its sillly.

Now Warp3D support for Radeon HD cards? That's cool. Thanks Trevor.

...a few years ago PA6T was best, next year Freescale T series will be the king of PPC

The P5040/5021 isn't that bad right now. When the T5040 (with AltiVec) is introduced (hopefully in the 23.2 to 2.5 GHz range) it should be pretty nice.
But none of them have as many PCIe lanes as the PA6T.

And who knows what A-eon and Varisys are up to. Trevor mentioned that they were working on more then one project several months ago.

The X1000, while expensive, actually is a pretty nice system. Sure, its slower then a lot of X86s, but compared to other PPC and ARM ystems its quiite fast with a nice complement of expansion slots.
