In my opinion, for AOS to survive, Hyperion needs to get out of the hardware business and focus on OS development for whatever hardware the market will support. And for MOS to survive, the MOS dev team needs to ditch PPC and port the OS to something that at least is currently still under production.
Tend to agree with that statement, in principle. But if you embrace truly popular hardware then you are stuck with all the issues of disparate addon hardware and associated drivers that can make a good OS feel unreliable.
I think the Microsoft principle of driver certification has merit. But IMO MS tries to keep most of the people happy most of the time, which would be too big a bite for a company like Hyperion: Choosing select quality providers is the key, so a Hybrid of what they are trying to do now on more popular but select hardware would see more positive results. IMO.
BTW: Aren't there distributions of Linux, BSD and good ole Symbian(Hand held I know) for ARM.?
