What is important to you in a "new" amiga-like OS?

[coldfish]

Runs on inexpensive and fast modern hardware and is 99.9% compatible with classic software.

There are just a few thiings that are really important:

1. Workbench - true to the original spirit (Windomanager and Filesystembrowser with the classic feel)
2. Old Amiga Software works (preferably OCS stuff too, but thats optional)
3. Runs on real Hardware that you can order and buy new with a warranty.
4. No bloat - not booting into one OS starting virtualization booting the 2nd one and than doning emulation ... just keep it clean and simple ...
5. Hacks are only there to bring you tommorows features today - they are not a design concept!
6. Browser of at least OWB 3.30 stability, compatibility and performance.

I think the Morphos team could do wonders with Aros

Weren´t they using AROS sources in the beginning and removed these parts later?

The other thread got going fast, but I think a better discussion might come out of this question:
 
For a "new" amiga-like OS, what parts are important for you?
 
What sort of hardware should it support?
What sort of hardware can you go without?
What features should be present?
What are "must have's" from the old amiga os?
 
In short, what is your wishlist?

Supports ARM processor derivatives.
Has 16bit sound, fast 32bit graphics, has hardware 2D/3D acceleration, dual display support, TV out.
Built in Wi-Fi, usb 2 or 3, SATA. Comes in a desktop wedge

New features: memory protection, Virtual memory (but only when required), Multi thread/core support.


Same Amiga filesystem layout (it's so easy to understand!), Fast multitasking, Amiga themed, Draggable screens, launches old software transparently.

Your doing some interesting threads these days Runequester.

"For a "new" amiga-like OS, what parts are important for you?"  
 
Any and all.  Let the end user decide.  I love building my own machines at home (although they are all PC's).  Don't restrict it to one (or a few) types of hardware like Apple does.  

"What sort of hardware should it support?"  
 
Any and all.  

"What sort of hardware can you go without?"  
 
Let the user decide.  

"What features should be present?"  
 
Speed!  I want a very fast OS, not bloatware like Windows.  Let me decide on what options to install.  

"What are "must have's" from the old amiga os?"  
 
It should (or must) run the old Amiga software from the 80's and 90's even if it runs it in a virtualized manner.  

"In short, what is your wishlist?"  
 
A very fast, open source, freely distributable OS that can be loaded on any type of hardware (x86, PPC, ARM, etc...).  It should have the look and feel of the old Amiga OS's but up to date.  It should support the latest hardware and software but also be able to run the old Amiga software (virtualized most likely).  
 
 
That would be paradise for me.

A OS with full blown MP and SMP, that isn't an nightmare to admin, works on x86 and ARM which has some AROSish qualities to it.
