@kickstart,
I understand that you don't want, or can't afford an X1000 and you would like to see cheaper options to run OS4.x, but wishing A-Eon to fail will not get you your cheaper hardware any faster. Hyperion are the only people that decide what hardware OS4.x will be ported to, be it cheaper, or more expensive hardware. Aim your complaints toward them, not at Trevor and A-Eon's X1000, as Trevor has nothing against OS4.x being ported to cheaper hardware.
Soon you will be able to buy a Netbook to run OS4.x on at a much lower price and you should be happy, but please don't wish for the X1000, or A-Eon to fail, as Trevor has plans for more OS4.x compatible hardware in the future and it might be something that you want to have.
