I don't think PC users are looking for another operating system these days, so it's not at all clear to me how porting OS4 over to that equipment is going to make it mainstream, especially if OS4 is not available for free (given the availability of Linux).

Do you really mean Mainstream (i.e. millions)? or do you mean used by more than a few thousand, but still less than, say, tens of thousands or perhaps 100,000 at the upper limit?
