If you have an OS running on x86/x64 motherboard XYZ then it is *much* faster and easier work to make it run on 100 other completely different x86/x64 boards with completely different chipsets than it is to have an OS running on PPC motherboard XYZ and make it run on one single other different PPC board with a different chipset.
Bad day in the office?
It is worth differentiating between merely "making something run" and "making something run well." The devil is in the detail. Even minor deviations between mainboards and CPUs in terms of components or just firmware can create annoying technical problems.
Your comment is well beyond hyperbole.
