Absolutely zero sense in MOS supporting any of the proprietary OS4 PPC hardware. There's just not enough of it around to warrant it, and they would be wasting their resources.
 
Love 'em or hate 'em, MOS guys got it right going after the extremely cheap and extremely available PPC Mac hardware. I only wish OS4 would go that way too - a lot more people would get a chance to use a real fun little OS at a reasonable price.

OS4 wont go the same way because its always tied to some uber expensive hardware,  Hyperion/Ainc/whoever always want to maximise how much money then can fleece from the brand monkeys

Yeah, that is how overlay is supported on BVision but it still doesnt give overlay support to current Radeon HD drivers. My car could be a UFO if it had wings.

Think you are missing the point there
