I\'m not an heretic: an heretic is a morphos user! I\'m a perverted: i\'m an aros user!
edit:...i\'m now an heretic perverted... i\'m a morpharosian...
Evil has no limits... I\'ve even os4.1 too...
Is there in my house any space to sleep still?

If hyperion did succeed in porting os4 to x86, the real problem would be another:
Who does say to all users who were forced to buy very expensive ppc machines to run os4 that their expensive ppc machines become useless and that os4 will work good, if not better, on the new architecture?
In amiga world there's no steve jobs (DEO GRATIAS)...

ii problem: what about acube and aeon?
if this to acube (aeon) is an hobby, passing to x86 could be no problem because it should be the same to sell x86 hw or ppc one.
if this to acube (aeon) is a matter of life and death it could be a problem. but it means too that an entire company live with the earning that about 1000 customers give them. the same earning in x86 world you can hardly make with 10000 customers. x86 is an open market with its benefits but with its laws and if aos4 would be ported to x86 (let's say for 2 or 3 chipset following apple example) why can't i buy an "amiga clone"? surely it will be a benefit for sw house but not for hw producers and hw customers.
