And that is good how? MorphOS is a commercial product. They desperately need 'commercial interruptions'.
I think that PPC is vital for development platform. A place where new ideas can be development without mass interruptions.
Again. What on earth are you on about? I'm not sure you know yourself. Staying on PPC has so far not provided any benefit whatsoever apart from the 31337 factor. MorphOS is already an obscure OS with very, very few users and extremely little in terms of hardware support.
Also, the only thing interesting about MorphOS is the software. The hardware is completely irrelevant as long as is solid, fast and runs MorphOS.
And this is different from the current situation? Staying on the PowerPC platform does not make it less likely that MorphOS is 'swallowed by x86 mass'. It already has been. The question is whether MorphOS can be resurrected, and that can only happen if more people get the chance to run it. The x86 platform has by far the most available customers.
MorphOS looks interesting, but I am never going to buy hardware specifically to run it. If, however, it ran on an x86 system (of which I have plenty of old boxes), I would definitely give it a go.
