    PPC is dead. Get over it.

    Here are some scattered MorphOS Team comments on the subject:

    About choosing PPC as target architecture in the first place: "if we would have known back then what we know today, we would have chosen differently"

    In a response to the comment "I only regret that again we have an annoucement about old hardware", a developer said: "Fair enough, but don't whine if it ain't a PowerPC based box ;)"

    In a response to the comment "Due to lack of another new PPC-based hardware, I can make the only conclusion: this is the end of MorphOS :(", a developer said: "IMHO Apple hardware is the only target that makes sense for PowerPC MorphOS at the moment."

    For the moment, MorphOS is tied to PPC, and by utilizing Mac hardware, they are making the most out of it. And it's not bad at all; it sure beats the crap out of all the alternatives, both in price and performance. But of course there is no *future* in PPC, which members of the MorphOS team has pointed out occasionally. And for all we know, someone could very well have been working on a non-PPC version of MorphOS for a long time already. MorphOS 3.0 will probably introduce support for x86...
