Not being as lucky as Alex, I haven't got my subscription copy yet.
Hopefully it'll be there when I get home tonight.
But I did see a small piece of info on Amiga News DE. Sounds to me
like it's a bit like WINE, i.e. it just emulates the OS and not the
hardware (although I guess it would need some sort of 68k emulator or
68k->x86 converter like JIT but converting the whole program at once).
That would explain the speed and lack of AGA. As for host OS, the only
things I can think of ATM is QNX RTP and BeOS, and I guess it's more
likely to be on QNX that BeOS.
Still, for OS legal programs that don't poke around too much, it would
be pretty useful having them running at those kinds of speeds :)
Or maybe I'm speaking out of my exhaust ;)
