    I am quite sure we are going to see a very broad shift to multiple ARM cores both on desktop and servers in coming years. It has to do with saving power and making hardware smaller. With the cortexA57 64bits, coming out in a year or 2, we will see more powerful and incredibly energy efficient hardware. This is at least a path that carries a bit of the legacy of MorphOS, being is a lightweight OS and currently on efficient PPC.

    The RPi is such a smart thing. Maybee not so powerful, but its cheap and its small and it will give many people who could not afford a computer to actually own one and learn programming.

    A MorphOS move to ARM, would be smart to make the first release for RPi, even if it is a cheap stripped version of it (only the most essential) it could become very popular.

    I cant really see why MorphOS would go for x64/86? Even if it is the most spread and exist powerful hardware, it doesnt share the energyefficient and lightweight idea, which is the trend for the future and part of the legacy of Morphos.
