See I see things this way... The reason they can deliver SO VERY LITTLE
for so INCREDIBLY HIGH PRICES is simple :

Because they can.

All the cool aid drinking cult members will pay any price they set, for any level of performance (or should we say total lack of performance)

Whats left of amiga fans should simply boycott anyone making 10 year old spec hardware for more than todays modern pc prices, or selling them a 3,000$ computer with two cores and years later only one core works...
Or years later still not delivering the drivers for that computer...

If everyone just said no to the substandard level of performance, lack of drivers and lack of software,then the hyperion people may be forced to make sensible choices, like porting to arm or x86 off the shelf hardware.

AMIGAOS4 will die because of GREED pure GREED. They have Amigaos4 locked down to uber expensive 10 year old spec hardware for a reason, and thats money and greed. If huge amiga fans can't jusifty the expense or afford the cost of ownership, any hope of any kind of a future or growing the user base is completely gone, and they know it.

All they can hope to do is rape the remaining amiga fans for as much money as possible while delivering as little as possible as far as value and performance goes.

Its allright though, there is alternatives...

I'm pretty sure they could find a volunteer or two or five to port it to arm or x86 or do it through a bounty system, costing them zero.

If they ported to x86, someone would just need to write drivers for very common pci net and sound cards, and a few good graphics chipsets as was done with aros... Then any x86 with appropriate add on cards could run it. Zero engineering costs other than the initial port and writing some drivers for common
add in net, sound cards and video cards.

Anyhow never going to happen, so I'm happy there is AROS.
