What would be your move now that you know the price of the X1000?

Tension,

While you don't get "rid" of Windows, I've been extremely happy with the slipstream XP method.  Boots right into WB, no muss no fuss.  After configuration as per the guide you can opt to never see Windows again.

But it still suffers from all the problems of Windows. Just because you are running WinUAE does not mean you are not getting hacked over the network cable or get a corrupt 2 byte file in the registry that stops it booting

As far as MOS or OS4 goes....I'll wait until someone writes a PPC G4/G5 emulator core and then lets me run either of those systems via some sort of OS4 emulator I have no interest in running OS4/MOS on hardware that is worthless to 99% of the world of computer users in reality.

The price of the x1000 is not the only problem, none of these Next Gen 'Amiga' solutions will actually replace a REAL Amiga than a PC running WinUAE at all, and what am I supposed to do with my 300+ original Amiga games.....exchange them for cracktros from Planetemu.net? No thanks

As long as you are not retarded enough to buy Amiga Forever (you are entitled legally to use downloaded roms if you own that version of Kickstart in an A500/A1200/CD32 FACT) then WinUAE OR a REAL Amiga is the only options AFAIC

Still sitting on my hard earned cash and waitin' for NATAMI project to become consumers reality. X1000 isn't any continum IMHO of what C= left for us Amigans. But again who am I to judge. I respect their (Hyperion) doings in NG field, but this isn't my "cup of tea". Thank you.

Interesting. The problem is a hypothetical 'modern Amiga' is such a leap from what we had to what is possible on current CPUs like 6 core AMD Phenom etc it's like going from a wooden sailing boat called enterprise to a galaxy class star ship called Enterprise

It's been so long since a real Amiga was made (1994) that really, in reality, there will never be a modern Amiga because too much time has now passed to actually create a genuine Amiga setup on level playing field with OS X/Win7 machines for daily use (let alone a superior system which is what the A1000 was in 1985 to EVERYTHING and in EVERY WAY )
