someone here hate the idea amiga to be a pc. the amiga of 25 years ago wasn't because had its peculiarities.
the amiga (one) of today is already a pc.
it's a simple pc nor more nor less than an x86 one.
it has its cpu, ram, bus, hdd and so on.
it hasn't a x86 cpu but in the rest it's about to be the same.
i think if aos would go x86 it'll be only faster faster faster.
and surely for a pirated copy hyperion would gain by 2 original ones.
How many original copies of aos4 (how many amiga one) have been sold? 10000? i think less.
in x86 world this number has at least to grow double in short time.
really again i don't understand: Do you seriously hate so much the idea of fresh blood that you prefer to stay in your ivory towers? Do you seriously hate the idea that we're not an elite but instead today we're only fossils of a long ago past time to condemn amiga to die?
While I'm not into PCs, new processors or the need for speed at all, I don't and never have considered owning an Amiga as being elitist. I have been using the Amiga since the very start, way back in 86.
The Amiga to me was simply the natural progression from the Vic20 and C64. My main reason for it still being my favorite computer today is quite simply I'm more than happy with what it can do & the speed at which it does it.
This is in no way being elitist, it just my own personal choice and I have no objection to all the other types of processors that other folk would like to see being used. If a new Amiga of some description ever does appear, of course I would have a look at it, but it would have to be something special indeed to change me from being an old fossil...
