It seems anything that runs on something other than 680x0 is referred to as "NG".
However it's rather meaningless because AROS, for example, is supposed to be one of these "NG" operating systems, yet nearly two decades later they haven't even implemented OS3.9 levels of functionality, let alone OS4.0/4.1.
It would be like if I wrote a clone of Windows 95 and called it the "Next Generation Windows OS".
MorphOS is not much better in this regard either.
