Depends what you mean by Amiga stuff. If you mean demos and games, then yes it does.

If you mean "Amiga software", it includes legacy support for system legal OS3.x apps the same as always.

xeron: tell me more about AOS4?
What can't you do with it? I've seen that you can't browse the web since there are no browsers with CSS support...

There is a browser with CSS support, but it runs on top of an X11 layer (like some apps require X11 on MacOS X), and its not brilliant.

But I browse, for example, Pouet.net in IBrowse 2.4 and despite the lack of CSS, its certainly OK.

Really, though, right now, if you're not already into Amigas, its probably not for you, UNLESS you're a coder who would like to help by making drivers and apps that people need on OS4 ;-)

So no new users are needed? :D

Well, of course, they are always needed, but I'd be lying if I said "get OS4 now! It will completely replace your mac and/or PC!!!11" because it won't.

OTOH, I really like and enjoy using it for the things it *can* do.

Arguably because pouet.net is not precisely doing much with css.

Does someone expect that from a <$500 machine? I don't! A PDA is probably a lot more useful!
