Thanks to umisef for spotting it

A-Eon have made it clear several times that the XMOS chip was Varisys' idea, rather than theirs and has been put on as an almost free extra (£10 or so on a £1500+ board).

They have? Where?

The hype came from certain over-enthusiastic community members, NOT A-Eon or Hyperion.

Have you already forgotten about the "What is X?" nonsense?

GPGPU

Isn't that a bit premature considering there isn't even 3D support for the included Radeon X700 card yet?

As far as I can tell both ATI and nVidia are keeping their GPU stream processing drivers closed source (and binaries are only available for x86 and amd64). So where is this GPGPU stuff coming form then?

What if you had enough *native* apps to get rid of legacy ones ?

You won't. The potential market is way too small for serious commercial apps. If your software library consists of ports of X or linux apps why not run linux directly then?
