That very much depends on the application.
If a program crashes with OS3 then it will definitely crash with OS4, too. It may crash with OS4 even if it runs very stable with OS3, since OS4 catches lots of invalid memory accesses which went unnoticed with OS3.
I hope that is not true!
I would think that the developers of OS4 are smart enough to enable OS3 apps (the ones that don't bang the hardware) that run well, to continue to run well on OS4. From the wording of your quote above, it sounds like you are saying that OS4 crashes while running some OS3 apps that usually run fine on OS3, but they crash an OS4 machine?
I would think that the OS4 developers would have a better solution for trapping bad code in an OS3.x application instead of allowing it to bring the OS4 computer down. Please tell me it works that way.
Usually they will run faster on OS4, because the PPC CPU is faster than the 68k CPU, even without JIT execution.
If they don't, then what was the point of porting the AmigaOS to PPC native? I am sure they must run faster. :-D
