Cause then there would be absolutely no exsisting software, and it would take much longer time to both port software and the OS to the x86 platform.

You should take a look at Aros, since it is pretty much a os 3.x clone and is even open source aswell.

I do think it would make sense to choose certain chipsets, gfx and such to support if they go x86, and then maybe add some support for newer ones as time progresses..

I do think that it would still take a great amount of extra work and time to get it done, especially at getting 3th party software ported.
