It is, that's already been made quite clear, it's even part of the license agreement.

In case you hadn't noticed, the scenario we were discussing was running AmigaOS4 in a Virtual machine.

In other words, I was correct. Virtual hardware is certainly not licensed hardware, regardless what it's running on. Running AmigaOS4 in a Virtual Machine would also have to circumvent anti-piracy measures. Again, this wouldn't be supported.

I would prefer it if you would keep technical issues technical, and not personal. Let's also note that I was right on the money, and you backed it up, unless you're going to tell me that in fact Hyperion will support this configuration. I'll admit I made a political stance, but that's far short of your brow beating, and isn't personal in nature.
