Perhaps I'm missing the point here... but isn't the project I linked you to using standard PC hardware and only creating a development platform with OS code? Thanks to plenty of open source code, this surely means they won't even have to write all the software themselves. Once hardware producers realise they can be part of a worthwhile project, they invest in the project.
So I've covered: The billion $$$ hardware expense Where the money comes from Why it's not a PC and is effectively a console
Anything else?
BTW - Why does everyone think I don't want people to make a profit? I just don't want people putting profit before the consumer. Which is what happens in monopolies. TBH I don't care. I can see I'm wasting my time here anyway.
