-- You should add: No OS4 isn't running at all.

On the hardware you own, probably not, but that's not our problem. It's runs fine on mine, so your statement is false, as most of the statements you made since you joined Amiga.org.

That's alright, AROS runs quiet nicely on x86. For a price of a A1 mobo/cpu, you can buy a new low end laptop. Which can run AROS, of course. :)

AROS is not even near to the quality, usability and robustness of AmigaOS 4. It's developed for many (10+ already) years by a tiny group of enthusiasts, part time, while AmigaOS 4 is commercially developed with two full time employed developers and a great many of contributors. Currently there is much more software available for AmigaOS 4, than for AROS, despite the fact that AROS predates the announcement of AmigaOS 4 with around 6 years:

OS4Depot as of today - 667 files.
AROS archives as of today - 11 files.

Giving this picture, no wonder why most of the people prefer to look at AmigaOS 4 and always {bleep}ing why it doesn't run on XYZ hardware.
