General discussion • Re: Raspberry Pi IPO

The OS would cost more than the hardware it's running on.
Sure, but anything else is not commercially viable. I'm not averse to dropping $100 to license a commercially viable product

I strongly suspect you're in a minority there.
that actually has third party industry support for the tools I need, which presently are only available under X86 Windows.

Windows on ARM alone won't solve that problem. You need either the developer of those tools to rebuild them for ARM or a decent x86 emulation/translation layer.
What good is a free Linux desktop if none of your tools run on it, because nobody is willing to deal with the mess of different distributions one would need to target?

Really? Noone? What about DIsplaylink and NVIDIA? Both provide closed source binary drivers though last I checked only for certain distros not for all of them.
