Id say the tight integration of the hardware and the OS made it great - and you know, some people still like classic american cars and T-fords etc STILL, even though there is FERRARIs available...:-)
And to correct myself, It apparently has a PPC port as well - I believe however the ARM version runs in a VM.
There is also a guy that wanted to integrate AROS with Linux - Aeros, somewhat like some people here suggest should be done.
Just to correct: AROS is not like WINE. Its more like a OS that can be run directly on x86 hardware or inside a VM like VirtualBox. It is correct that native hardware support is limited though.
In response to this they could do something that would make the DRM agencies proud,
or they could do something that would make this console the biggest success since the Amiga homecomputer.
"And what is that", you say ?
Do what Ken Kutaragi or what his name was, said in the first place...
"MAKE IT TOTALLY OPEN" - release every spec, for graphics systems and everything,
and send ten consoles to the AmigaOS4, MorphOS, and AROS devteams...
So they could do some real magic on a open console !!
But I guess they would be sued into oblivion, even Sony, thats how far the DRM infested world has come.....
Damn DRM, damn it to hell ! And damn the virii also.. Due to viruses and computer crime we probably will end up NEEDING hardware DRM....
Or how will we do our online banking.....
All I have to say is compare the demoscene for the Amiga and the PC of that time.. To see which was technically superior.....
And as the other poster said, PCs might have had static graphics that were good, but as a person living back then I know for a fact that PCs were a joke compared to the Amiga atleast until 91-92.. And even after that the Amiga were better on a lot of things.. Even now it has stuff going for it..
DAMN COMMODORE !! They killed the Amiga with their bad management.....
This is completely in line with what Alex Jones says about how the-powers-that-be want to make -us- , the people the enemy. We are the enemy. We are the terrorists. WE must be regulated.
Proper sleep, good Omega3 fishoil and therapy would do wonders to many patients.
Sometimes i think depression is a completely natural reaction to totally unmanagable living conditions..
Seeing that most games these days are about killing and maiming FPS'es, RTS'es etc
This is really something i have suspected a while.
Games have turned into a psy-op for whoever wants the youth prepared for whatever great war
they want to unleash..
More civilized times = pre Bush and such..
Or the 40ies and 50ies..
Btw arent gangs really "warlords and tribal leaders" ?
And there are plenty of gangs running the show in many US cities ?
But I guess the Police does have the upper hand on most of them..

And to doublecorrect myself: Im not sure if Aeros actually might run native, with Linux running by the side.

To be honest Ive never heard about KS1,4 so you must have had another ?! And A3000 didnt have 040... ?!
How about keeping an eye open for AROS ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AROS_Research_Operating_System Lightweight opensource AMIGAOS clone, drivers might be an issue though .. :-(
And software ..
Its the death of the west, little more than that ..
The new playground for the Globalists is now China and the Islamic countries..
WHAT ? They killed "The Rock" ? You bastards !!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwayne_Johnson/
I dont know about the other six, but I sure am :-)
This is a ploy to make global warming, that can change oceans currents supposedly, look more dangerous.
I suppose intelligent Ads are hard to sell ..
And I hear Seinfeld was huge here in Norway :-D We have similar humour.

This is murder, atleast in the same way abortion is.. ?
Could we then safely assume that there is no risk of biodiversity problems in virus ecosystems ??
I sure didnt know about this before so WikiLeaks must have some purpose. Now, I should also say that I didnt know about WikiLeaks either ...

Yeah I guess the fires have always been burning , like Billy Joels song .. :-)
But the lynch mobs were mainly in the US south right ?
