*It does not integrate 68k/full Kickstart emulation.

That is not possible due to the legal issues. Though i sure as hell would like some emulation myself, atleast something similar tothe JIT emulator that OS4 uses.

Yeah, but ideology aside, what are the practical benefits? What has it got over SkyOS, or Syllable or Haiku/Zeta, or one of the Linux mini-distros, aside from the nominal Amiga connection?

Responsiveness, userfriendlyness and more.

But i agree with others about the need for more apps or even a integrated emulator. I wont be able to use it as a main OS before i can actually surf the web with it, play videos and maybe do some gaming.

Hardware support should also be a high priority.

I am very overall very impressed about how similar in nature it is to the real thing when it comes to responsiveness even on a old computer.
