Running AmigaOS on a PC (The Proper Way)

AmiLover writes: "OSNews is running a review of AmigaXL, a system that allows you to boot AmigaOS on your PC in a way that resembles a regular-booting x86 operating system. Screenshots accompany the article show the latest version of AmigaOS 3.9 running on a Compaq laptop. With AmigaOS 4.0 coming out in March with lots of new features (antialias fonts, better memory protection etc) is AmigaXL the one true future of Amiga, a future that AmigaDE, QNX and Gateway failed to materialize through their involvement with AmigaOS?"

    Well, you refuse to put any intelligent words in your mouth, I can't help it if I didn't do a better job for you.

    You're focusing on all the wrong things, as clever fools tend to do. For instance, a modern Amiga would benefit greatly it is took the same approach to co-processing. This wouldn't have to be done with the old chips, or even new versions of them. Load the thing down with geforce's galore, and a bunch of fast DSP's for sound.

    Not that you have the brains to ever understand anything that's at a lower level than the shrink wrap of your Windows XP software box.
