"Again", its not just about "running NT 4.0", but having a device "capable" of running alternate OS, a resource intensive one at that. This equates to having "good hardware" and a “robust OS". However given that "the device" is capable of running alternate OS, if software support is not currently available, or may never be available, "again" [B]no sling support[B] then it offers more functionality and flexibility.

You need to understand that "hardware saturation" drives "application development". Nobody is going to put a lot of effort on a platform that is undergoing constant significant evolution...esp. if it has a short lifespan.
