You got that wrong:

The A/BOX is 100%-PPC-native, while AOS4 will still include some 68k.

MOS does NOT emulate AOS !! It is NOT Amithlon !
It has an AOS-compatible API and a 68k-emu.

Lots of free/shareware-authors have allready made MOS-ports
of their SW. Can't really be said about AOS4 ;-)

MorphOS deserves respect because these people tried to give
the Amiga (the real one, not just some Amiga-labeled tech) a future
when the holders of the name said NO !! (GateWay/AInc).

These people do desevere respect because they DID bring a working
"AmigaOS-PPC", and sofar they are the only ones.

Wow what an idiot ......

No clues but a very loud mouth....

AOS4 will NOT be 100% PPC, and that is according to Ben himself.

The core parts will be, but some of the other parts will be 68k.

You don't know the differnce between an emualtor and a binary-
compatible API-reimplemtation.

How do you think an MOS-native AWEB-port was possible so fast ?

Yeap that was because it has 100% PPC reimplementaion of the
Amiga-API.

You should also know that AROS and MorphOS do share quite a
lot off modules (on source code level) .

So tell me if you really got a working copy of AOS4, why is it
than that Ben could only demonstrate an higly patched/updated
AOS3.x (on 68k) and an text-mode only kernel ?

Simple logic

MorphOS can run AOS-SW.
MorphOS does NOT need any AOS-files for that.

Seems there is an API-reimplementation, or is it Voodoo ?

This does not means that the internal parts work in the same way
as AOS, just that the API reacts in the same way as the one found
in AOS.

And you know what ? That is why it is called an API-reimplementation !

Sorry AOS4 is (will be) PPC, and as long as it only 68k it's only
3.x, no matter how many modules you replace..

You do know that "replacing" the ROM in RAM  !IS! a patch ?

AOS4 will become a reality when ExecSG,Petunia and the recompiled
modules all work on a PPC and are capable of running real apps.

Everything before is little more then a technological study.

Oh and about the name-calling:
Who started it with that stupid remark about virus-makers ?

I really hope that you are not in any way involved in OS4, cause
would like to see it in an usable form sometime.
