All this talk of new hardware will never get anyone anywhere.
We have OS4.x and MOS 2.0 but no 3rd party software (thats any good or NEW) to support it. You can have all the x86, quadruple core PPC, dual video card system, 100GB RAM (whatever you'all are dreaming about) but no software to run on it other than the OS.
Best thing is to pick up a programming book and start writing something.
