So, you are not aware that AmigaOS has been ported to PPC. LOL!
Well, he's obviously right. The fact AmigaOS 4 can transparently run 68K software does NOT mean it doesn't need any emulation layer to do that. It needs, indeed, a JIT translator for M68K instructions and calls, which may be less invasive than a whole instance of UAE running in the background, but that's emulation anyway. Some people will insist this is a "better" approach over AROS' dependance on UAE, since it allows running concurrent M68K and PPC programs and libraries, and even mixing up runtime code (es: M68K programs which can take advantage of PPC libraries, and vice versa) in a single environment, however I still prefer emulation of the whole system, with a smaller degree of integration. It's safer and more compatible.
