@those so highly critical of the (to them) "expensive, out-dated mobo":
During my 30 years of motorcycling, I NEVER bought a really-fast chain-driven machine!
I DID own three OHV BMWs, one highly-detuned Moto Guzzi Tourer, and one half-litre V-twin Honda. The BMWs and the Moto Guzzi were ALL recognized as having engines FAR from up-to-date technology! In addition, these were HIGHER-priced than contempory Japanese 250kph+ machinery.
And you know what? I didn't give a damm! I bought these bikes because I wanted to! Chain-driven stuff didn't appeal to me at all!
. . . . . . . . . . .
I'm well aware that x86-tech has sky-rocketed up in speed, and sunk in price, and you know what? I don't give a damm about that either! If ANY of this stuff had appealed to ME I would have bought at least ONE!
NONE appeal to me any more than chain-driven speed-bikes ......
AOS on x86 would NOT attract applications, any more than BeOS did!
Linux runs on PLENTY of x86 boxes - WHERE are ALL THOSE WONDERFUL Linux Games?
Do you see a pattern here? Other OS' run on x86 - Developers code for Windows!
EXACTLY the same thing happened after the release of the C128.
WHY make Apps for the C128 (specifically) when C64 Apps would run on C128s AND on C64s!
WHY is MAC OS not on X86? Same reason! Move on!
