That's why its called WinUAE. It's UAE for Windows.
Microsoft isn't that evil company we used to think of them a couple of years ago. MS is going towards more of cloud based computing and things are changing after Bill Gates left.

Who is the next evil giant: Apple. They are reaching their double digit peak soon due to popularity of OS X and the iPhone/iPod. Windows owns 92% and their market share is going down gradually as time goes on. I just happen to like PCs since I grew up around them along with macs. I use leopard at work, but I prefer XP (not Vista) as my OS of choice, because WinUAE is fast on it. Plus, I'm the geeky type, Macs don't cut it for me.

To WinUAE fans like myself, there could come a time when Cloanto could just develop for Mac and leave Windows as the second class citzen and it could be MacUAE instead of WinUAE. As time marches on, as long as I have my Kickstart ROMs, I'm happy to run them in any system along with my Amiga games. Shadow of the Beast :)~~

Both. But I think WinUAE and Amiga Forever is the best thing that happened to the Amiga Community recently this decade. Why? Nothing new is coming out from Amiga Inc, then virtualization is the future of computing as far as emulation goes. As a far a types of Amiga fanboyism goes: There are Amiga Forever Fans, WinUAE, MorphOS, AROS, X-Amiga, and the original Amiga fans. The Amiga family tree has grown in the last 10 years thanks to the Web.

I have a broken A500 I bought back in 2002. Kept it for Nostalgia. Instead of eBay, I looked for a solution to play Amiga games. I found out about WinUAE and AF.
But I like WinUAE because it integrates well with Amiga Forever. I want to thank Michael Battialana at Cloanto for this.

I'm just a big fan of Cloanto, they do things great.
Many of you Amiga die hards may disagree, but Cloanto is
doing more than Amiga Inc. (Bill McEwen)

But to answer your question: I belong in the Amiga Forever/WinUAE fanboy category. Hey you guys can use any Amiga system you want. I'm just saying I love AF/WinUAE. :-)
