Exactly what I've been saying for years! They could just go the way of Linux and develop it to run on any PC box. The community would quickly adopt it and driver development would snowball. There is definitely still enough interest in the Amiga to warrant such development. Imagine Amiga OS running on a quad 2.6GHz PC.

Sadly I don't think we will see this unless something major suddenly changed.

As for PPC chips. It is puzzling why they never developed them quite in the same way as x86 compatible chip development.

The only reason I can think is that most PPC development branched off years ago and went into using PPC chips to control industrial machinery, as well as household white goods. Something they are very well suited too due to low power consumption and minimal heat output. Well, that is as long as you don't include the G5, which was developed purely because Apple pushed them enough to develop it. The G5 could heat a whole house given half a chance. And actually the lack of interest in developing PPC for computers was the real reason Apple jumped ship and started x86 exclusive development.
