Hell no, I don't want to see it fail, but they *are* kind of sealing their own fate pricing it the way they are. When it does fail and gets discontinued, it'll be nice to snag it up at a great discount and like Cammy mentioned, it'd be nice if MorphOS was ported to it.

I dont want it to fail, but in its current shape, it will, no matter what anyone wishes (Business 101).

I voted 'yes', and I'll be honest about it too. Should the A1X1K fail to deliver, the comments from the hardcore red folks should be endlessly entertaining. I won't feel the lest bit sorry for anyone who lost money, nobody was forced to play this game.

I vote pancakes.

Honestly, the writing is on the wall. It's almost a year since the 'What is X?' hype crap started, the Xena-Xorro hype, it's very expensive, the prepaid beta test program, it comes with a OS that probably doesn't support all the hardware out of the box (maybe later). It's starting to smell like vaporware.

I really don't care if it fails or not, I'm not going to buy the X1000 or OS4, there are cheaper and better options available.

BTW, I don't see the MorphOS team porting MorphOS to the X1000. What's the point? They are allready working on bringing MorphOS to the Apple G5 and Powerbook (both allready demod on various meetings).

Why would anybody want the X1000 to fail??

I think it's bloody great, but without winning the lottery, I'll probably never own one.

Really hope it succeeds, and you cant blame people for being a bit cynical!!

Plus Trev seems like a genuinely decent guy.   That counts for a lot as well, the amount of scumbags there are in the Amiga scene over the last 12 years

I have to agree, I don't *want* it to fail, but it will.   If they'd released it last summer (the target date) AND it had worked properly, in the other words the OS supported ALL of the chipset's functions (SATA, 16xPCI-e and both cores) then it probably would have sold in reasonable numbers even at a high price.

It will be interesting to see what happens next, I think that Hyperion have a lot more riding on this than people realize (their credibility for example).

Voted no.

If people want OS and he fastest machine to run it on then why not. Sure the better option was there if only they asked IBM but still no worse £/performance than SAM460 and not everyone cares about MOS.

I voted "no". I hope it does workout. A lower price would be nice. Maybe some new lower priced cpu will come over the horizon soon.

How about this for a fun poll:

Would you be more inclined to purchase an X1000 if you could run MorphOS on it?

Although I could probably never afford one, that would make it the ultimate machine for me being able to run both OSs. Getting Aros ported to it would be nice too, and is probably more likely.


Yes, I agree with Cammy and feel the same way about ther SAM460EX as well.
MorphoS and Ubuntu, NOT AOS4.

I hope it doesn't fail. But i suppose it depends on how you define failure.

On one hand i wouldn't even think about spending the kind of money they will be asking for the performance specs they have provided. So in that regard they will "fail". But on the other hand for the kind of money they are asking for it i would expect the motherboards to be handmade and autographed. That sounds real classy to me and far from being a failure :)

So i guess i'm saying for the amount of money you would have to pay for it, it isn't for the performance but for the quality.
