"Classic" as in 68k or PPC?

[DDNI]

Classic PPC. BPPC, CSPPC or Emulation.

[fryguy]

when will it be released as an analog download?

[Arnie]

When you connect with a 56k modem and have a few days spare.

Anyone know whether the OS 4.1 license actually allows use in emulation?

It would appear so, .

[Arnie]

I can't answer that but, who's going to stop you?

Do the updates check whether you're using a real Amiga or say, WinUAE?

No it doesn't. Hardly think they would want to kill sales.

Exactly.
If it wasn't for PPC support in WinUAE, I would never have bought it.
I think they (and me) owe Toni a big thank you for that.

Indeed.

This sounds interesting:

As of this writing, AmigaOS 4.1 FE can use Zorro III RAM only for swap purposes, but it has been announced that work has been made to use this RAM as main memory
