the AmigaOS 4.0 Features have been revealed!

The Kernel is in 68K assembler ?

If the kernal is not native PPC then what was the whole point of OS4

The FIRST kernal (Exec) was in 68k ASM.. the new PPC kernal for OS 4.0 is Exec SG (Second Generation).

I think you should change your user name from "newbee" to "idiot".

Okay I might have been a little harsh, but when someone seems intent on believing the worst.. its slightly annoying.

OS 4.0 Development Update from January 2002.

Exec Second Generation (Exec SG)
Exec is the kernel of the AmigaOS and is currently written in 68K assembly.
Exec is being re-written in C and new functionality will be introduced to allow the deployment of OS 4.x on any suitable PPC hardware.
(end quote)

Re-written in C, which means able to be recompiled for PPC, not stuck on 68k.
