Why wouldn't OS4 be good to have on a new "Commodore PC", a few things..
Lack of support for Shader Hardware (yeah mesa/openGL doesn't cover this) and multiple GPUs..
Lack of support for SLI (See the above reason) hardware architecture..
Lack of support for PCI-Express..
Lack of support for same hard drive standards.
Lack of Support for Soundblaster X-FI Professional 24-bit audio standards
Lack of kernal support for Intel® Core™2 Extreme Quad-Core processor QX6700: 2.66GHz 8MB Cache
That's four processor cores working together folks..
So why is it a disappointment that OS 4 is not on the box? It isn't to me, you'd have to disable 90% of the rocking hardware in it to run OS4 even ignoring the processor issue.
This machine is so much better hardware wise than ANY AmigaOne hardware model out there, you'd be comparing APPLES to ORANGES..
I love the Amiga folks, but the Amiga cannot compete with this box for gaming, software, OS or ANYTHING..
I wish someone would do OS 5 and support even 30 percent of the features listed in the hardware here..
I'd love to see an Amiga with 4 cpu cores, multiple GPUs.. Etc. The problem is that they haven't done anything like that since CLASSIC hardware.
Even if the Amiga was a GOOD OS why would you bother to buy OS4/AmigaOne. This Commodore PC probably can run all your classic Amiga software thru UAE faster than an AmigaOne ever could.
Does the AmigaOne even have support for DVD/RW?
You guys shouldn't bemoan that OS4 isn't there, you should be advocating for an OS 5 with modern features not substandard hardware, which isn't the original Amiga experience to begin with. The Amiga was all about hyper powered graphics, not just an OS..
If you can't advocate for OS/5 just buy one of these boxs, run UAE on it, and be very very happy..
