* Amiga already uses it
* There are lots of Amiga PPC apps
Alot? How many is that? I thought there were mighty few applications expressly writen for PowerUp (that uses nothing on the 68K and custom chipset side).
* It's too easy to get pushed out by windoze on x86
The vast majority of folks already own x86 (and probably 99% of them with Windows). So if they already have x86, why would windows push OS4 out of the market? The only reason to buy a A1 (or peg for that matter) is for the fun of using that given OS. If you think it's a either or situation of OS4 vs Windows, I think your sadly out of the mainstream of thought. Even I have a drive with M$ on it because I like to play Dark Ages of Camelot. Everything else in the house is Linux.
* More custom hardware helps stop piracy
Funny, Amigas had custom hardware (which I will dispute that A1 has at all) and that didn't do squat against piracy.
