"I say, let them stay on PPC, maybe the PPC architecture has something that we have all been overlooking??"
This isn't an issue/option (I honestly can't understand the yapping on this here). OS4 is done on PPC. Took 6 years to get there, and I doubt all developers got paid for it (amiga platform has always been a labor of love). To leave PPC is not an option, regardless of technology today, unless you are rich enough to hire developers full-time. And even then, why throw away all the effort that went into it. And I'm talking about someone rich enough with more than $100 million to invest in a company & business plan to sustain the development... and at the end is there room for another platform? (Apple has done well with their gadgets, not so much with their desktops) :roll:
