POLL: What is the most viable Amiga platform for *you*?
« on: February 02, 2011, 09:58:33 PM »
First off, this poll is not meant to ruffle any feathers. I am simply curious the consensus in 2011 of Amiga.org users. The aim is for users to pick ONE option as if you forced to pick only one. Sadly, there is no pancakes option.

This poll may be discussed, but moderation may be with a heavy hand if debate gets personal or outright nasty. Also keep in mind I am not looking for what you think is the most viable platform, but rather the one that is the most interesting and viable for YOU.

I am excluding Commodore USA products as they are not released, there is nothing to form a full opinion on yet. Be polite and enjoy!

The poll will last for 30 days.

Voted AROS...

Why? Because it's the most viable option for fun hobby. I can't wait for AROS68K to become usable, I'm upgrading to A1200/A4000... :)

Classic for the moment, but I'll be keeping an eye on AROS68k, and I'm definitely looking forward to NatAmi, when it finally comes out...

Voted Classic but I really do have high hopes for the NatAmi... :)

(Would have been better if it was a multi choice poll... :))

I voted AmigaOS 4 without any reason at all.

NatAmi is not out yet, so it stays out of the poll like Commodore USA's products.

Although it's 'classic' right now, I will be revisiting MorphOS in the near future. Not so interested in AROS as I'd rather not have to maintain or look at *that* kind of hardware in the house.  :lol:

Classic every day. Possibly add MorphOS as well, we'll see.

Voted classic.

MorphOS is second on my list because it's the best nextgen option and I've used it for 7 years and liked it very much (if it weren't for the license I would still be using it). I don't care about the other options.

I picked "other minimig etc" because the minimig, fpgaarcade, and natami most interest me. The Replay board, especially, since it would give me an AGA machine as well as an FPGA development platform.
Most of the time I use UAE now, and I would really like to see it running transparently under AROS on generic hardware.

I voted Aros because of commodity hardware.
I wish classic had new hardware.

I chose Classic, but all flavors of Amiga are of interest.
