They could have used the fully compatible, albeit slightly more expensive APM chips instead, or wait a little more for the T1 series (announced as early as June 2012).

Only Sam460 availably as new, others are sold out either long ago (Sam440) or just recently (X1000).

MorphOS has been announced for the X5000 as well. Missed it?

There's no reason to honour someone for something that's conceived as a bad decision.

That's not worse than what's available for OS4 currently to choose from.

No, it's not. It might become true somewhen in the future when OS4 will be available for Tabor.

What's your problem with people like Jim who clearly welcome the porting of MorphOS to the CyrusPlus/X5000 (and maybe even to Sam460), but think that Tabor was a bad idea for purely technical reasons? What does this have to do with hate?

That's certainly debatable.

As explained, it's not about e500v2-based hardware or no hardware at all. There were alternatives (including waiting some more).
