I don't disagree that x86_64 should be considered by the AmigaOS powers that be today, I just would like to have a very technical understanding of why that is, aside from the marketing issues that are more obvious.
Technical reason i don't know, but surely the real reason is that market has been made by twenty years of wintel domination. But things are changing and in the next years we could see something new as pdas, smartphone, tablets and other stuff taking the place of desktop. Many people in the last years bought a pc to surf on the internet, watch videos (or download them) and listen music. Now tablets, netbooks and similia are on the right way to give those people what they want. I think at samsung and others with their arm cpu and why not ppc. But laptop, netbook and tablets are something you can't make in an hobbyst market. Such technology would be truly expensive. And even if you want make only os the majority of those things are written in fware. The market laws.:afro:
