why is this so important?
OS4.x can be run on mobile hardware for the first time. It can now be run on cheaper hardware, hardware that people already have. Don't you think that's an important development.
if it was, then there would be some reaction towards it, wouldnt it?
A number of threads on most Amiga sites, 800 respondants (not many polls get such a response here these days) to a poll on Amiga New de.
instead there are just few people on their own trying to hack os4 into runing under uae. so far it looks like this doesnt offer much, except a satisfaction to squeeze something into where it wasnt intended for. it appears much more efficient to run plain 68k emulation. most likely the outcome of the whole affair will be that everybody who wants will take a peek at it and quickly returns where they came from.
The emulation is not mature at this point but there are already various videos on youtube showing that it works and there is a lot of interest.
It's much more efficient to run software directly through Windows too but people still run web browsers and various ports under UAE.
