Stick a f0rk in OS4, it's done. Instead of whining about OS4 not being ported (it won't), you would be better off looking at alternatives or working on improving your native machine and it's OS.
Well, unless you are one of the people working on OS4 your comment means nothing to me. If not, you are not the one making the decision wether or not the OS will be ported to other platforms or not. Hyperion have hinted that they wouldn't mind porting the OS, or adapting it to other PPC hardware, but in the end I guess it is very much not their decision. And, that is all what matters to me since that is pretty much all one can 'touch', factwise.
My guess is that they rather would see that they have done this with some kind of 'future' of the OS in mind, rather than just releasing the final version and then just not bother what happens. I'm having a real hard time believing you spend a couple of years making an OS, just to satisfy the needs of some people craving to see an 'impossible' revival of something that was and never will be again.
The thing is, I am not stuck with my Amiga and I am not better off looking for any other OS since I already have what I need on my PC, probably going Mac sometime in the future. My interest in OS4 strecthes as far as the fact that I want to play around with it, and support it, on anything but obsolete and unavailable hardware (which I am not going to buy, expensive as hell, second hand). I can't support something that I don't see have a future, and by sticking to the A1 and some classic Amiga PPC-cards, I don't see a future. If PowerVixxen and Amy gets released and unlike the A1 becomes unavailable after a short period of time, well, then I see something worth supporting. If OS4 will be ported to other hardware, well, then I definitely see something that is worth supporting.
But what it all comes down to is the fact that there's a limit to much I am willing to spend on my hobby.
