yeah right and 1 billion drivers to support..
Well, you have AROS...I'd say it has not such
drivers and it works !
You may remember Apple's case, x86 hardware running
both MacOSX and Win. What's wrong?. But we talk
about a billions company.
Being present on a mass market implies MONEY and enormous support, if that's what genesi seems to plan
then the effort will have to be Generous..
I would bet Genesi is not up to the task of entering the mass market dimension. They need to enter that market (market has no legs) or delivery such attractive product that attracts consumers. But if they had a good investor....
Mass market users are not really very interested in OS depths and
tech details, that has been demostrated over the years.
Today it's hard to compete with big hardware companies, so why not use their products adapting your
software?? (X86 has an unending list of available OS)
Oh damm god, you are a small hardware company
and that is not business for you.
Summary and deceit: It could be cool to hear your neighborg uses MorphOS and that he/she bought his computer in a local shop.

No, this hypotetical MorphOS x86 would support only certain devices, like every small operating system. It's only the motherboard that's much easier to find and cheaper. In theory, you could pull out the Pegasos motherboard, put in an x86 based one, and plug back every device you had working.
Right, it would not need extensive cab archives and so on.
Pegasos HAL lets you to use standard peripherals, they could run with an x86 board.
Appart from motherboard, proccesors are very easy to find and cheaper too.
