I am quite happy with my classic systems.  They run all the old software natively.  If I wanted to run them emulated I'd just use UAE rather than AOS 4.  I've got a Mac Mini running MOS, which is nice.  I run AROS through VirtualBox, but in the end it's only the classic systems that feel Amiga to me.

It is quite possible to write an OS to be processor neutral or at least easily portable to another architecture.  That's what OS X has done.  iOS is just a port of OS X to ARM.  If the authors of OS4 were thinking ahead they would have done so with OS4.  Sadly they weren't....
