Do AOS4 and MOS save the Altivec Regs during a context switch?

Yes.


That's ok then, I give you all permission to use the Alitvec if it's available ;-)

It would probably be a good idea to develop a matrix/dsp library to abstract the Altivec implementation away from the programmer... for backwards compatibility and future proofing... much in the same way Apple promoted the accelerate framwork.
