I think BeOS had years to make an impact on PowerPC and got nowhere. It only picked up fans when it went x86. Amiga OS should do likewise.


It has; it's called AROS.

x64 is x86. x86 with extensions.


That's not quite true. x86-64 is a newer architecture that retains most (not all) of x86 as a subset.
