To answer the OP, yes I do approve, in the form of MOS, but by now we must see that such discussions are fruitless, start flame wars and lead to ignorant comments like when Kolla called me a dumbass because of my opinion of the iMica.
Reasons why MOS, OS4 and Classic will probably never be x86.
Bye Bye to all your favorite apps native support, they all need big endian for native support of any kind
Making it x86 would involve twice the work, as its assembly code is a mess, and all our API, ABI and system calls taht have bits of ASM would all be bye bye, useless
Even if x86 was the main platform, do you know theres over 20 N/S bridge combinations currently produced?
Your average Linux or Mac geek (the market we probably would be attracting) would be pissed at:
lack of memory protection
Lack of security and privacy systems.
Unfamiliar controls, needing to learn whole new syntax (AmiDOS and derivatives)
Also, realize a 1.5 Ghz G4 beats a 3.2 GHz Pentium 4 in general performance, a PPC will give you twice (or more) performance per cycle due to its RISC and ability to execute instructions faster and more efficiently
Therefore, an x86 switch by any of those listed is HIGHLY unlikely. Before these happen, Ronald Reagan would come back from the dead, or Kennedy.
