What you should be asking yourself is not why Hyperion won't do what you want, but rather why does the community not en masse support the option already there for x86.


Good point.  I myself have heard a myriad of comments from people including but not limited to: the x86 is "less fun", that it's "old technology", that Intel is somehow an evil company for producing a CPU that MS (excuse me, M$...) can put Windows on (Xbox360 is PPC powered - is it now evil, too?), down to "the number of x86 boards and hardware can't be supported", "OS4 will drown in piracy"...

not a single damn one of them makes sense but when you hit the wall of religious dogma there's no getting around it.  And that's all it is, religious dogma.  Not a single "no x86!  Ever!" argument holds a damn bit of water.  None.
Back away from the EU-SSR!
