No, why would anyone want to fail at something especially if its their passion and they stand to loose money.  
 
You would have to be some sort of prick to wish that

I really want it to be a succeed, and even if it breaks even it paves the the way forward for a whole new line of AmigaOne's which is a good thing. :)

Who wants someone's positive effort to fail?

I'm pleased to see so many not just wanting the idea or project to just fail, even if they think it completely daft/nuts/crazy etc. Thank you for your answers so far, even yours zylesea at least you explained your vote, I hope the other people who vote yes do as well. It might help understand what some people would like to see happen next (after the x1000 success or failure).


I like to add, that I would be happy if X1000 was really successful. I like all Amiga stuff and I still like ppc. And in particular the PA6T is a nice chip. My vote with 'yes' was a bit blunt though. Somewhenre deep in my heart I don't wish then to fail, but I don't think they will not fail. And then I am better for a quick end.

"All in all I think it would be best if OS4 jumps to x86 or ARM."
 
Totally agree.  ARM would be my vote if it can outperform x86 in the future.

I don't want it to fail, but I don't expect it to do otherwise and won't be shedding any tears if it does. If the actual retail price is anywhere even approaching the figures they were quoting, I have a hard time seeing how they'll sell enough units to keep things going beyond an initial production run (unless the vast majority of that is markup, in which case I would want them to fail, just out of spite.)

But I'm really not invested one way or the other - PPC hardware and software bores me and I have no interest in OS4, so I'll just keep waiting for NatAmi and praying that it will have a price tag somewhat less than "one semester at a small college."

No, but I certainly won't be buying one.

Precisely. You'd have to be pretty mean-spirited to want someone's hard efforts to bring hardware to the market to be in vain.

It's on the fail track no matter what I think. I won't deny I'm having a fun time watching it fail though!
