I have no idea, you will have to ask Hyperion as it is their OS.

And thy art now just realizing this?  Why, thee must jest.  Nay, the Kings English is immutable and eternal.

How will the MicroA1 be "significantly cheaper" than the A1?  It uses all the same parts of the A1, and then add even more on top of it.  The smaller form factor will only shave $10 off of the manufacturing price, and the loss of slots about $12 more.  The video chip + RAM alone will add more than you lost from the factor change, then add in the added functions and you find that the MicroA1 will cost more to produce than the A1.  So unless Eyetech plans on selling them at a lower profit point, it is most likely to cost the same if not more than the A1.

By your statement, it sounds as if Eyetech is developing the MicroA1 for free, due to reduced development costs.  I highly doubt this is the case.  In actuality, the dev costs for a Mini-ITX motherboard are greater than that of an ATX, due to the close proximity of the parts.  No spare room to "cheat your way" past the RF signals that do occur.
