    I did not follow all fo this video. The message is "I found 3 G5 in a dustbin and show them in a video"?


    @ ASiegel

    It is impressive to see that a small portable device like the iPad can eliminate a 10 years old workstation. No more need for these huge boxes. Only we have no access to them through MOS.
    The G5 computer today might be "free" or almost free first but the energy costs eat this all up. After running your G5 for 2 years you wasted so much energy that from the paid money you could have bought a new iPad or whatever else.


    @ SoundSquare

    If you look at the power consumption that MOS has on the G5 then you see that it is far from being green at all. Fans cannot be adjusted, CPU can not be cycled down, you only can disable one core in the Firmware which is not an achievement of MOS. It will take much more effort to make MOS green. And don't forget stability which is missing in MOS completely as we have no memory protection and all that stuff. So even if you could get green crashes you would get as many crashes as now.
    And the thing is: an optimization for e.g. Altivec does not help you at all if you switch to ARM. But many optimisations in MOS rely on Altivec.
