The X1000 is a rich man's toy. The main CPU is upgradable though so they can update the design in the future without having to design a complete new PCB. Then again, they did the same thing with the original AmigaOne series and it didn't work out well then either. This one is a "limited edition" model.
I suspect Bill McEwen wants Amiga to fail due to under-the-table payoffs from Microsoft but I think Aeon got caught by the economy as much as anyone else did though and deserves the benefit of the doubt.
