How much would it cost to port AmigaOS to x64?

  Most people don't need anything more than a computer that can run a web browser. Then next largest computer user group needs a web browser, office software, and streaming ability. Those two groups should cover 85-90% of computer users.
Any major OS can do this, making basically all the same.

Exactly!!  That's why were not necessarily tied to..

So why use anything other than Windows..

..er..  what?
Why?  Because a very smart person once said:

Any major OS can do this

:-)

Also, you can run Office Software in a browser nowadays..

I'm not saying that I expect an Amiga OS of any kind to take over the world, but I can very possibly see a world with much less Windows.  Already seeing that with phones and tablets accounting for more and more percentage of the browsers in the web logs..
Combine that with embedded internet (in TVs and DVD's/Blu Rays, etc) and internet enabled Consoles possibly gaining traction.....

I'm not saying it's going to happen, but...

The clusterfu¢k one where no matter what desktop environment you select, every application uses one of half a dozen UI toolkits that all operate in subtly different, mutually-incompatible ways, and each application introduces its own inconsistencies on top of that, and eventually you snap and shoot up a Post Office?

So you've used OpenSuSE...  :banana:

... but I have to say DragonFly BSD is looking up from here, it has some Amiga inspiration apparently.

Oh yeah!!
Matt Dillon ROCKS!!!

(OK, I never really got "INTO" BSD, but I have nothing against it, and Matt is awesome..  I was a PAID user of DICE (Dillon's Integrated C Environment) for the Amiga..)
