I sure as hell don't want a slow PPC when I can have a fast x86, no matter how huge a heatsink it needs. I'm sure most people agree with me, which is why we all use Wintel machines, not Amigas."
A lot of people disagree with you.
Price and SW availability are biggest reasons.
Price is low because they are very popular and sell like crazy. PPC may enter that arena eventually, but not now.
As for software availability, what difference does that make? An x86 Amiga or PPC Amiga will still not be Windows compatible, and will need its own line of software, anyway. So, nobody should care what the CPU is -- so long as it's fast, cheap, durable, high in value, and has tons of 3rd party support. Keep in mind that software availability also applies to dev kits, compilers, tools, and other stuffs that will never be available for PPC, because nobody wants to port them.[/quote]
Most (if not every) Amiga fans, would buy PPC if they could do with it all what they want/need to get done.
But, will they pay $800 for a slow, obsolete PPC, when they can get a faster, more competent machine for much less money? Speed isn't everything, but value is.
People who buy the AmigaOne are hardcore Wintel haters. I just hate Windows.
"When PPC technology is put to good desktop use and can run circles around x86 without needing "Dual CPUs", I'll buy it. "
If a Amigan can do everyting one needs on a PPCAmiga (as fast as on x86) and if it is not more expensive, he/she definitely buys "PPC". Except you, because wintel is better untill PPC runs circles around it. 
PPC is not as fast as x86, and IS more expensive. I have no problem with paying more, but I expect it to be worth the money. $800 for an AmigaOne, or slightly less for a Pegasos, is not my idea of value.
There's more to x86 than just the processor. Think about the chipset, accesories, standards, manufacturers, competition -- the whole works. Using PPC is more than just buying a G5 and slapping it into a mobo. There's too many things you have to think about. For example, how many people thought that they would have to buy registered memory for the PPC? With x86 chipsets, you can use any memory you want, registered or not.
"Until then, x86 serves my purposes better. I never wanted a PPC Amiga, and millions of other people don't, either."
It seems you do not want Amiga untill it runs circles around x86.
Um, Amiga is an OS, x86 is a CPU.
An Amiga on x86 would be the same as Amiga on PPC, just faster and cheaper. It's also noteworthy that choosing x86 now doesn't mean you're stuck with it forever. If you program your software correctly, it should be easy to switch to other CPUs later with a minimal performance hit. Windows can't do that, because the Windows architecture sucks (and Microsoft doesn't really want to, anyway).
Choosing x86 over PPC will not guarantee that the Amiga will survive or be better than anything else. Just take a look at what happened to Amiga Inc. and their "Digital Environment" partnership with Tao. However, it will be one less headache for them to worry about.
Remember what happened to Be. Mac clones were stripped off the market, and Be had to switch to x86 just to survive. Be couldn't hack making their own hardware; I don't see why people think things they are any different for Amiga companies.
The failure of people to realize why x86 survives is WHY such an awful architecture destroyed the competition, and continues to hold its own. It just cracks me up to hear people bash technologies that swallow up entire markets.
KennyR: Then they're never going to get what they want. Trying to sell x86 hardware or just software alone in such a small market as the Amiga just doesn't make economic sense.
Nothing about the existing Amiga market makes economic sense. How many Amiga companies have fallen to bankruptcy or lack of interest? They need to broaden their scope, and making expensive proprietary hardware does not help.
