Depends. Usually with a thread like this people just have to point out why the x1000 is a bad idea. Like maybe reminding them that a G5 is dirt cheap and out performs the "overpriced" x1000.
I'll have you know, Kesa, that I was in contact with Paul Gentle (@Varisys) before it was even announced that they had designed the Nemo board.
The company that Trevor contracted for this design is truly first rate and I trust Paul's next designs will be equally interesting.
After all, even before the X1000 was released Paul told me that Freescale's Qorlq line was the product line to watch/consider for new designs.
And since he mentioned that, Freescale has introduced two new 64-bit cores in that lineup, one of which (the e6500 core) supports hyperthreading.
The top of the line T4240 runs at the same speed as the PA6T in the X1000, but has
24 virtual cores.
The e5500 based products Trevor is looking at run faster than the PA6T and feature two or four cores.
And Trevor has always stated that he'd like to see MorphOS support on these later designs.
With Ben Hermans out of the picture, that could just happen.
So, no, not all the "trolls" are going to trash A-eon's product line.
