That is a review?

Bollox.

I quite liked it.  So many reviews get bogged down with petty things like insight and useful information.  This one broke the shackles of conventional journalism by containing neither.

AFAIK it isn't actually possible as the system would have no way of knowing if a memory access is legitimate or not.  You would have to take the proposed MorphOS approach and run *all* old apps in a sandbox (where they could still interfere with each other) and run new apps in a memory protected environment.

Rumours say MP is coming?

AFAIK, for even being able to boot at 64bit native kernel on a AMD64 requires MMU support.  From what I've been told, AROS64's memory protection is going to be compariable to OS4's MP.

Why not just dump backward compatibility for the 64bit version and actually try to make a modern Amiga-like with modern features?  That is what is really needed.

Source compatibility seems stupid when no-one is ever going to port anything over anyway.

Regardless of EUAE, something still needs to be done.  At this point with the move to 64-bit, it seems like the perfect opportunity to start over.
