Hyperion is unlikely to port OS 4 away from PPC because of an unjustified concern that running an OS on x86 automatically means competition with Microsoft and Apple.


 :roll:  I agree.  Unjustified is right.

Again, that's as intelligent as saying that VW should make all their cars run only on Diesel not Gas so they don't have to compete in the "Automobile" market.  Sure they won't sell nearly as many as that would be a dumb move, but that doesn't change the fact they are still selling "CARS".

MS, Apple, and Hyperion all sell OSes.  The fact that Apple charges more for hardware and Hyperion doesn't even HAVE hardware to go with their OS as PPC is so difficult/hard to get at a decent price is insignificant in the fact that they all sell OSes.

Back in my day, we didn\'t have water. We only had Oxygen and Hydrogen, and we\'d just have to shove them together.
