At the time the choice was made there were still lot of boards
supporting APM, now most only support ACPI anyway so it shouldn't have
any impact onthem.

I'm sorry but what does this have to do with APM ?
Besides an intel is not always an intel in the sence of PC, intel Macs
use EFI to boot, which is not yet supported. Or you'd need to run
Bootcamp or some other BIOS emulator.

Because when you only have one dev box you don't want to spend time
rebooting (even more to linux) to get back to editing the code to
change one line and compile and test again.
Using QEMU still makes it much faster for devs.

Which is exactly what we do.

I'm sorry, but despite ranking 940 out of 990 at TOEIC I did not
understand a single line.
What are you talking about ?
Actually after 4 reads I think you mean our network support doesn't
work for you right away, but it doesn't either in OSX. Well, it's still
not even alpha, so it's not like it should always be. How about telling
what doesn't work instead ?
Or even submitting patches ;)
