HOUSE!
EDIT: Just finished reading the whole thing - it's a great lil' summary, nice post!
That's a great article. And here I was thinking the AmigaOS4 release was probably a good thing - nobody can use it!!!
Well, if the Samantha board gets into production, it could be a good thing. I think to have mid-spec machine with OS4 on it would be good if it wasn't big and bulky like your normal PC. With the right software, there could be the opportunity to market an Amiga machine as one of those V-Tech education machines.
Let it die for pete's sake! I'm tired of people trying to 'revive' the Amiga.

You let it die. Let other people try to fulfil their wish. Or make money. Whatever these companies are in it for these days... the way things have been going I would assume it's NOT to be making money.
Why dont they just build a new amiga ?7
Why Spoil all with powerPC ?
We want a 680X0 processor now :)
I hapend to like the 68010 cpu.. it was so simple to code in assembler. i know every bitt in memmory and all hardware coding was fun. I even got the Hardware ref manual in book self.
By the way.
No emulator has still proven to make that smooth mouse mouves amiga had.

Or make an Intel Amiga.
Cause Intel has to few IRQ
Amiga has 256 IRQ in hardware.. Intel has only 15 IRQ.

Don't get me wrong, the Amiga was a great piece of kit, and it had its time in the spotlight, but there is no place for it today. The fact that the article reads like a list of bankruptcies would seem to make this clear.
My favourite computer is the Spectrum 48k; I have many fond memories of my speccy, but, no matter how much I liked it, it would quite frankly be ridiculous for me to try and resurrect it, or deny that it would be commercial suicide to attempt to do so.

A non-issue, now pretty much any piece of modern hardware can share IRQ's with other cards.
