Why isnt OS4 available on other PPC hardware?

Its hard to get the overpriced out dated Amiga hardware, so why cant we just have it run on other PPC hardware?

Id buy a copy for my Mac

I agree that amiga inc arent doing us any favours at all.

theyre making a joke out of the amiga name with their stupid little games for amigaanywhere

Id say if youre not already supporting AROS then you should be! (this isnt meant to be trollish)

some very good points here


1. there is no reason why AOS4 couldnt be on macs except for:
2. Amiga inc are killing our OS
3. shouldnt we be focusing on AROS now?

It seems to me that no one ever took AROS seriously, its like some ba**ard child hidden in the basement.

Users backed the commercial path because the potentional of quicker development and modern features. (? am I right)

But think if everyone had backed AROS and put their faith (and cash) in the Open Source model then we might have ended up with something more viable for the future

This is just my opinion on it. Im not saying Im right

But I dont think its too late.

Why is the AROS-exec forum so quiet?
Why arent more REAL amigians supporting this?
Why? :) tell me people!
