Supposedly, it's a full AmigaOS running over top a host OS. It boots up AmigaOS and runs the software. It's small enough and fast enough since, it's binary not interpreted to take on JAVA as an execution environment.
Uh, what makes you think it's not interpreted? Ok, /if/ the scenario is correct (which I doubt is true) of:
hardware - OS - AA VM - AOS - app
you're still running in a VM -- you've just inserted yet another layer into the mix... For example in Java you'd have:
hardware - OS - Java VM - app
So, yes, I guess the app is "not interpreted", it's running "natively" on the AOS, but, then, the entire AOS is running interpreted on the real OS. Pretty stupid design.
Now take it to the next step as it will apparently load Workbench as well. So it's an AmigaOS Kernel that can run on virtually any OS and potentially any hardware with a small boot Kernel.
Uh, yeah, ok... I'll believe that when I see it.
