Interview with Ben Hermans from Hyperion : Comment 44 of 194 | ANN.lu |

The fact it went bankrupt it's due just to the fact that it didn't have an enough big userbase. If it stuck with PPC it would have gon banckrupt much earlier, this is for sure.

Well, but the Linux community is *NOT* willing to pay for anything. If you think you can sell something to the linux community then yes, you're wrong, and VA Linux and Loki can teach you JUST THAT. You cannot take them as an example of how difficult is competing in the x86 market.
Can you answer to this question? What stop potential customers of your PPC related products from buying x86 retalet products for their x86 machines or from buying x86 machines at all? How can you belieeve that sticking with PPC will not make you compete with Windows?
