"Hyperion Entertainment VOF is pleased to announce the immediate availability for download for registered customers of another service update of Amiga OS 4.0 which addresses some outstanding issues and introduces substantial new functionality." There's a new kernel, better POSIX support, a new Python port, newer USB stack, and more. By the way, the promised hardware still has not arrived.

How far of a stretch is it, til they simple remove the tiny hinderances to making MacOS X run on any ol PC hardware you like? No much, as far as I can tell.
The hindrances are kernel panics from having to support as wide a variety of devices made by companies who didn't consult with the OS vendor as Windows. Apple's been experimenting with this (google Marklar) since before the PPC existed, and consistently unsatisfied with the stability of the user experience. If Microsoft could legally produce their own hardware without attracting DOJ attention, they would too: both the iPhone and the XBox 360 run only managed, encrypted code.
There's a lot more at stake than just which CPU you support and whether the firmware can emulate BIOS at startup.
