After skim reading this whole thread (you guys talk too much, threads too long... you bean counters)

Do youconsider the Commodore Colt to be a real PC? Yes, thats what it released as, that whats people call it. It definitely doesn't run all of the most hardware banging PC software, but it's a PC, with all the legacy of being a PC (crappiness, DOS). In the same way AmigaOS4 and MOS are both Amigas -which is more Amiga depends entirely upon how much legacy hardware they run, and how well they follow the style- they'll be fully Amigan when they have emulation for you bloody chipbangers.

Come a little bit closer your my kind of man...

I don't know AmigaMad, A1 on Linux with UAE might be able to run more software than a MOS machine without it (UAE) ... so not every A1 runs less classic software than Every MOS machine (unless I am mistaken in thinking Unix Amiga Emulator runs on PPC *nix

I'd say it's a Mac cause it runs Mac software. I'll say it's Amiga cause it runs Amiga software. I'll say it's a PC cause it run PC software (le IBM PC compatible). I don't UAE cause it's a seperate program, and really slow, it's not really the OS your running, Amithlon et al are kind of Amigas, although it sounds more like Linux that boots into UAE to me. MOS and OS4 will be amiga because they both can run a decent amount of the classic amiga's software (since they emulate in a similiar manner aka no custom chip stuff but OS stuff, won't they run more or less the same software???) and, more importantly, they're built ground up to do it. The Longhorn OS microsoft is developing sounds like it probably Won't be Windows, simply non compatible, whatever they darn well call it. Amiga runs on Amigas... hehehe hardware and software are different, some people get wierd Ithink because they had hardware and osftware with the same name, woopee.  two too to.
