Wrong. All they require is a compelling reason to do so.
Well, whatever it may be... I'd be more pleased if they stayed out of this business... OS4 would still be outdated on x86 and it's nothing but a waste of time and money to get involved in that. Especially since AROS could soon be made more advanced then OS4 if you're into retro OS. And then the only thing left in Hyperion's basket is the trademark AmigaOS.
If X1000 fails and Hyperion is forced financially to close their Amiga-related business, then Amiga Inc gets the AmigaOS name back.
I'd say hyperion has more to loose by not going x86, but I don't really care. Their choice...
Exactly. And they don't have one. I think they figure that since the OS is not interesting for the average buyer anyway, might as well keep things as they are, where at least they get a few bucks for existing users. I understand their position really. I'm not sure I'd port OS4 to x86 if I was running their show either...

Somebody 'planning' to put name stickers on plastic is not a compelling reason.
Everyone has a price ....

Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't "putting name stickers on plastic" pretty much what every OS4 compatible PPC hardware manufacturer has done thus far? A-EON's "planned" and yet to be released X1000 platform is the first to actually use some custom hardware that is not readily available off the shelf.
