>1) Hyperion doesn't have a license for that.
Which is probraly only so because they never asked for one.
>2) Decision what hardware will get supported.
You just pick one completly outdated Mobo and sell it at an extreme price .... oh wait, I got that one wrong ....
Amithlon prooved that one can support a great portion of x86 without major hassle.
>3) Probably a lot worse piracy problem.
Ah, so selling 1 copy is better than selling 2 copies + 5 pirate-copies ?
It was claimed that Amithlon sold ~2700 times in the short time it was on sale, thats about 3 times more than OS4 sofar. And inspite of being fudded and demonized by self-proclaimed "savers of the community"
Just imagine how many copies could have been sold if all forces had gathered behind, how many users and developers wouldn't have left....
And for the piracy, there are allways dongles, just as safe, but less painfull than restricting ourself to one line of medicore (you wish) mobos.
>I hope that you know Hyperion is working on AOS4 with very low budget.
Duh, they knew that when they started, and they should have thought of the consequnces instead of forcing another severe shift/split onto the community.
> To support dozens of hardware options in x86 world would be...impossible?
Did I allready mention Amithlon ?
