X86 does not equal PC. If Amiga DON'T offer this option, then they may
aswell pack up and go home now. No-one is going to buy a new Operating
system just like that. The only way for them to get a good userbase is to
offer a X86 solution with the DE running ontop of Windows/linux. Then get
people who still want thier MS Office and Halflife to migrate over slowly
to a complete system

Not if you use existing hardware, ie. x86 or POP. Or even better get a major
harware company to produce it for you.
