So, I understand the sceptiscism, I really appreciate the feedback, I note everything and I will take into consideration all important comments.
You might want to get in touch with Acube and ask them how it's going. Their SAM board is ostensibly for the embedded market and "just happens" to run OS4 - they've been at it for a couple years now so they have some idea of how an upstart in the PPC market can survive.
There was another company called Eyetech who did the same thing but they went out of business.
If you remove the "for profit" qualifier from your equation you'll probably be fine.
