Can anyone verify this?

The point for AmigaOS buffs is that AmigaAnywhere 2 effectively starts up a virtual machine, boots AmigaOS and runs the code on top of that. And that makes it perfectly possible for Amiga lovers to fire it up and run the familiar Amiga GUI instead of the game. Why they'd want to is anyone's guess, and Amiga wasn't demo'ing the OS working in this mode. Can AmigaOS catch up with the user experience and the functionality of modern operating systems? Some might argue that it shouldn't try, that it should instead revel in its simplicity and very small storage requirement.


Or did they just reinvent Java?

Make sure you read both articles.

Okay Floid,
 So, AOS5 aka AA2 is Amiga,Inc's build of UAE on Intent or Java running some version of AOS. Probably 3.x something. Wow, ground breaking.
