but precisely, except 2d compositing, all these are features delivered by rather recent third party extensions to the os, provided by third party. so strictly speaking os4 under winuae must be delivering exatly the essential experience of the os as such.

This third party software is pretty much standard on most systems that support it and compositing support isn't even available in the RadeonHD Lite driver included with FE.  Most dealers seem to have been shipping the Enhancer package with X5000 systems and boards and most X1000 and Sam460 owners that want to get the most out of their hardware probably have it installed already.
