Reasons to run AOS4.0 on Classic PPC instead of AOS3.1-3.9

[amigadave]

I would like to be convinced to purchase AmigaOS4.0 for Classic w/PPC card, but I am able to buy just to support further development, or for the "Cool" factor to have in my Amiga collection, so.................... I would like to hear from those who have already started using it to find out what advantages AOS4.0 has over AOS3.1-3.9.

Please list the Pros and Cons of running 4.0 on a 233mHz PPC Classic Amiga.  Convince me the purchase is worth my money on AOS 4.0's technical merits, not it's sentimental reasons.

(please include previous reasons in your post so we have a complete list in the latest post)

@pjhutch,

Those PPC games don't require AOS4.0, do they?

@Framiga,

Thanks, those reasons are a start on why I might want to run AOS4.0, I hope there are many more though.  I hope others will please add more reasons to this list.

Use Apps not available for AOS3.x (MPlayer/IBrowse to see youtube videos) -DVPlayer- AmiPDF a fast and modern PDF viewer...

Running native demanding apps like YAM2.5 native thats 5/10 times faster than under AOS3.x

Native PPC filesystems

and others ... now i have to go for dinner! :-)

I don't see much yet to convince me that I need to buy OS4.0 for Classic Amiga.

If I had money to burn I probably would buy it just to support the developers, but since retirement and lack of finding another job that pays any money for people with bad backs like me, I can't justify spending the money on OS4.0 now.
