I wanted to point out the fact that after the Settlement between Amiga Inc and Hyperion, AmigaOS is once again in the evolution Virtuous Circle and many complaints you heard were about older versions.
Some still apply (3D subsystem being slow) but developers (Rogue in particular) know them well and will surely provide solutions now that the OS is free to run with its legs again (and it's no longer chained down by lawsuits).
Considering how immature OS4 is on platforms that are currently officially supported I'd seriously recommend anyone to wait for proper driver support before buying the X1000. Else you could end up in the similar situation as with the original AmigaOne: By the time the OS is ready the HW has gone trough several revisions while you've been running Linux.
Things like new 3D subsystem are far from trivial. I very much doubt OS4 will see it within couple of years time. Also, USB2 drivers have been "just around the corner" for ages. Yet, there have been no official word as to when they might actually materialize.
The lack of progress hasn't been because of the legal dispute. It has been because of the lack of resources and skilled developers.
MorphOS Team has been under
legal threats from
both Amiga, Inc and Hyperion. The company financing the development was in court with Amiga, Inc. It hasn't slowed us down a bit, but lack of resources has.
