What is Amiga All About?

Benefits to Hardware OEMs

For the hardware OEM, Amiga is an operating system that provides a scalable solution and the ability to select and utilize their hardware of choice. These choices include a minimum of 25 different CPU architectures that encompass at least 10 different operating system environments. Of course, offers multi-processor support, too.

Additionally, the Amiga DE can be ported to new CPU architectures in as little as 2 to 3 months as opposed to the massive 6 to 18 month effort it would take to port a traditional operating system to a new CPU architecture. This allows great cost savings and flexibility to the hardware OEM.

Another benefit for the hardware OEM is content. As new devices enter the market, and new markets are being developed it is in the area of content that the Amiga can really enhance an OEM's offering. By using the Amiga DE hardware OEMs can offer much greater value added products than those who don't use the Amiga DE. Just imagine a set-top box manufacturer who can offer not only full Internet and home entertainment features on their system, but stunning games, Java applications, video editing capabilities, and programming tools, too.

The Amiga DE will allow the OEM to do all these things with one cohesive, scalable operating environment that communicates between itself and any other device connected to the system that uses the Amiga DE.
