I disagree, there are enough user group meeting or Amiga shows you can go and visit to test the systems, ask the question and get advice etc, all for free (minus the travel time/cost) that how I got to the decision that OS4 was more for me, I do admit cheap and easily available hardware is always going to be better (that why I also like Aros, plus I dont have to buy anything!). But I think going that root would be a mistake at least at the moment, they might as give it try and see if there is a market big enough and willing enough to invest more money for custom made hardware, I think if its not and the AmigaONE project fails then they should go the Mac root as quick as possible.
It failed eight years ago.
