First of all i'm kicking myself waiting for the NatAmi to finally arrive. When it does i am going to buy it without a second thought :)

There has been lots of talk about the hardware of NatAmi but nothing about what it will run on. Which Amiga os would be the most ideal to use?

WB3.x - The NatAmi is vastly more powerful than the machines WB3.x was intended for. So i think it would be a shame to use an inferior os that will never realize the NatAmi's potiental. So do we stick with WB3.x or do we look for something else that can take advantage of it's higher performance?
 
I think the worst thing we can do is let Hyperion join in on the NatAmi revolution. They will only trash it with help from Amigainc. They will probably start charging users fees or some other BS. The appeal for me with the upcoming NatAmi is that we can make a fresh start away from Legal BS from the Amiga camp and potientally start a new platform. So maybe A4.x classic wouldn't be a wise choice.

I'm also wondering how Morphos would be like running on Natami. This would seem a good idea to me. But maybe the purists would reject it.

Aros is unrealistic as a Natami os as the development is too long. The delay it would take would only allow Hyperion to get a headstart.

I'm dreaming of switching on my NatAmi and seeing a os load up with NatAmi Workbench 1.2 or 1.3 just like it was 20 odd years ago.

I think the NatAmi has great potiental in the future to really shake things up a bit in the divided Amiga community. Especially if they end up selling thousands of them and not just a hundred or two.

So what does everyone think? :)
You forgot multiplechoose, because NatAmi, I think that it will runs OS3.9, OS4.x for Classic and maybe AROS too.

Doesn't OS4.x for Classic require a PPC card?
Yes, but I read that the NatAmi project will have CPUs modules to choose several CPUs, the 68060 and PowerPC xxx, but if now they are change the project, sorry I don't know.
