The way I read it you got huffy when you were asked "why they are bothering to port this to the X5000" "if MorphOS is not going to support the 7000 series of Radeon cards" ;-)

> I mean really, are we likely to see any OS4 converts?

It's not necessarily about converts but about potential users of both OS. I think nobody denies that the vast majority of X5000 systems and Cyrus boards is sold to current OS4 users. And most won't even try MorphOS if this requires changing the graphics card (as discussed 7 months back in another thread).
