Found this while reading up on the backstory of this disaster:

Wow.

Ben Herman's was completely off regarding his comments on Mac OSX on X86.  Not only did OSX migrate to the x86 platform, but it became a great success more so than if it had remained on PPC.  The Amiga could have blazed the same path even before the Mac, with Amithlon as the bridge.  Cheap and available hardware did not kill OSX.  And the software developers did not abandon the Mac when it changed platforms.  He was even wrong on Linux.  Ubuntu and others have had quite a bit of success with Linux desktop.  And quite a bit of native software was developed for it (OpenOffice, Firefox, Flash and Acrobat, Java).  However, all was not lost.  AROS has made incredible progress in developing an x86 Amiga environment.  Every new release is more stable, faster, and feature rich.  I really like the OWB browser on the latest release of Icaros Desktop.
