Amiga worries about the kernel, the developers port to a VP so they can forever ignore the underlying platform, unless they want to use native tools. For developers, new platforms are supported seamlessly and invisibly. Mac OS is on the list, BTW, of supported OSs.
Amiga can run on any hardware, and the OS can use multiple processor types and choose between them depending on task. I think that's a pretty broad market, compared to the unihardware solution. See the site for the new computer, and the Zico hardware spec therein: http://www.amiga.com/products/one/
The "One" in Amiga One, btw, stands for one processor.

When you say, "Amiga will fail" because Linux users don't like free software, you overlook the fact that Amiga can target every platform, not just Linux. In fact, Linux users are a smaller target than, say, the Windows market.
As for vaporware, Currently there are SDKs -- which include the new operating system -- available on both Linux and Windows. See the story.

So, being RT enabling developers to make better use of hardware doesn't make it faster, then? How does that work?
there's licensing info at amigadev.net
