« on: December 21, 2011, 11:22:49 PM »
Im aware of AspireOS, but I was curious to know if anyone has had success using Aros on something a little bigger ?

awesome, many thanx for the list, wishing to move away from windows but I have no desire to go down the *nix route and Aros is getting to the stage where I can think about migrating over. Hoping to pick up an Aspire tomorrow but might be a little hard on the eyes :)

Welcome to the future ;)


Thanks :)
I tried Icaros but found that alot of the apps wouldnt fit correctly on screen for some reason, usually the windows were too tall for the screen and couldnt figure how to fix it, so have gone back to AspireOS instead

Congratulations! Glad you're happy with your new machine. :-)

Should point out AspireOS 1.5 is due to be released any time now (maybe even today), and brings some nice new features (system-wide icon snapshotting, Intel 3D graphics acceleration, etc...). See announcement here:

Yup, I downloaded and installed it yesterday and had a nosey around aros-archives... Sonic the Hedgehog looks great running on the dgen port :D

I switched from AspireOS to Icaros 1.3.3 with the latest update and have set up Amibridge, I have to say I love the integration and even the matching mouse pointers makes it seem even more transparent to the user, the only thing missing now is Flash to make a complete user experience.
