Hyperion/A-EON introduce us to the AmigaOne X1000. A new beginning?

Great news for the "enthusiast" community.

Business as usual for everyone else.

Most people prefer their computing to be bland and boring I guess

What's the point of adding wireless card to it when AmigaOS has no wireless stack, let alone any drivers (beyond ancient prism2 driver that requires dedicated prefs program and only supports WEP).

When will Amiga users realize just how far behind in things AmigaOS is in terms of technology?

If I want to be ahead on technology, I have my linux computer for that.

I am amazed at the >2gb comment, understand it with Vista though, I run Windows 7 on a netbook with a single core atom and 1gb ram and it flies. But MorphOS to me is more polished than Aros but Aros IMHO has the best potential future and already has parts the others lack.

My friends netbook is the same specs and absolutely crawls with win7, but Im not sure how its configured.

Morph does look more polished, but there's a brick wall coming up in terms of hardware.

OSX's market share is about 5%. While small its significant that that is 5 times Linux's market share and Linux is divided between hundreds of variants on almost any platform imaginable.
What would appear to be Linux's two main strengths, its price and its availability have not been enough to drive its user base above that of commercial OS'.

There's 160.000 android phones sold per day that would like to have a word with you.

Linux isn't just a desktop OS

What the hell is this "Eurotrash" you keep banging on about?  As a European, I'm interested to know whether you mean all Europeans are trash?

The same eurotrash that colonized his damn country, I wager.

Definately prefer the checkmark. I guess there's some trademark issues though, at least a while back when I asked amigakit about providing a keyboard with the checkmark on it
