Pure vitriol (Score 1)

I really can't understand the absolute rubbish that's being posted here and the really nasty vitriolic comments by people who obviously haven't researched anything beyond the headline statement. AmigaOS is, these days, a hobby OS. However, it's been (and is still being) improved massively from the old days of Commodore. Enough to keep a good few AOS fans wanting to see it prosper and move forward some more. And enough to keep a lot of those fans wanting better hardware to run it on. As it's inevitably going to have a small user base, it's going to cost more than the equivalent in Intel (x86) hardware. AOS fans realise that and a good few of them (us) are prepared to pay for it. After all, if no-one buys it, the dream dies. One of the most requested pieces of hardware is a netbook or laptop - so Hyperion, who have put their money into the Amiga OS - have sourced one. Again, compared to a piece of x86 hardware, it's going to cost a bit more and will be a bit slower. Amiga OS being quite a nippy piece of software will most likely perform more than adequately, in terms of speeds, on this. The high end hardware that's coming out, the AmigaOne X1000 is very costly but this time has been designed by a top class company, Varisys. It will be a dual core PPC computer. Again, the OS will perform well on this hardware. One of the things people often remark at is how nimbly the operating system and software packages perform, compared to other OS's running on many times faster hardware. Yes, to start with it will only use one of the cores, but that will come in the near future. There is, indeed, new software being written still for this OS (and even for m68K Amiga OS) The point is, Amiga enthusiasts are willing to pay for the hardware and software to keep their (our) platform alive, and, regardless of the points of view of those of you who can't understand why, that will keep on happening. There are enthusiasts of other platforms who are also willing to pay good money to see their chosen OS prosper. What's it got to do with those who don't like these alternative platforms what people do with their own money?
