They want it most lkely so software developers doesn't need to rewrite any code written against the APIs. It makes it more likely you ony need to recompile not rewrite.
You mean other than the 3rd quote explicitly stating AmingaOS4 has no reason to go on commodity hardware and the first one saying there are no benefits to x86/x64? You seem to be trying to reinterpret their clear statements to try to claim they are saying the opposite of heir own words.
Only the second person mentioned PPC. The first guy was just saying you should have to have 'custom hardware' because otherwise AmigaOS is no longer 'special'.
Nope, look at my post below from an Amiga thread from 3 months ago for 3 seperate people in the first 2 pages decrying AmigaOS on x86 and how PPC hardware makes it 'special'.
BeOs didn't succeed with x86. Some developers said that those who has originally used BeOs started to use window/Linux and stopped to support original BeOs apps because everythig was easier with Windows/Linux.
Custom hardware is good choise, there woun't be any benefits to go x86/x64
Custom hardware makes Amiga special and force people who has it to use it. (Yes I know there is linux distro for ppc)
OS4 needs to remain PPC.
No valid reason for OS4 to go to commodity hardware. The market isn't there - niche OS's are free/open source on commodity hardware, Hyperion would have no business model.
It's be just another offshoot hobby OS that could once make a meager earning on the PPC side that is now on commodity HW where there's a plethora of free OS'es for every niche market. Another OS I'd have to run an emulation layer on to run legacy software. Why should I run OS4 x86 vs. AROS, vs. UAE/Amikit/Amithlon?
and those are just select quotes from the first 2 pages. The snobs still exist.
Also, if you had finished the whole summary you'd notice how they want API compatibility with AmigaOS which you don't get from Linux or by changing the GUI.
Yep, Corona is the #1 selling beer in Mexico, the top-selling imported beer in the US and in the top 5 best-selling beers worldwide. It's quite a mystery why it's so popular.
No, he's not saying every fat person drinks big gulps. But you would be an idiot to think that the consumption of non-nutritious, calorie-laden soda doesn't lead to obesity. Especially when a 64-oz Coke is 750 calories which is around 1/2 to 1/3 of what a person should be taking in in calories and a high number of people drink more than one of them in a day combined with probably some high calorie meals. Excess caloric intake is what leads to weight gain unless you would like to present some evidence to the contrary.

Linux is the perfect example of API compatibility with AmigaOS? Huh?

Just take a gander at this thread from 3 mnths ago.

No, the current-day snobs will still decry running their blessed AmigaOS on x86.
Also, if you had finished the whole summary you'd notice how they want API compatibility with AmigaOS which you don't get from Linux or by changing the GUI.
Because they don't want to use Linux? And, yes, it is also about the kernel, filesystem, etc. according to the Amiga snobs.
They were referring to AmigaOS not x86.
Yes, but having it run on x86 will alienate the Amiga snobs.
Curse Alanis Morissette!
His site is named "i anal anpaul"?
Yes.
It's doubtful it asked for anything different than a typical Google app does.
CmdrTaco jumping ship, Idle, SlashBI, Slashdot TV, the more obvious Slashvertisement stories a.k.a 'sponsored stories', etc.

In North America, Foster's is made by Molson's under license.
Our country is more willing to spend money on its criminals than its elders, might as well take advantage of that.
Most of the soon-to-be-elders are the ones who put us into the financial mess we are in.
Of course they haven't. Ask Slashdot is the place for incompetent IT monkeys to get told how to do the basic tasks of their job.
All over Slashdot? Oh man, they're quaking in their boots!!!
Yes, and the government can ignore it since they control the copyright laws. You actually think the government is constrained by the GPL? ROFL.
This whole thing is irrelevant due to state sovereign immunity. Good luck suing the government when they have to permit themselves to being sued.
State sovereign immunity. Game over.
