Yeah, but who actually keeps one. People keep old obsolete C64's, Atari's, Mac's, and even Radio Shacks Cocoa's, but who keeps an old PC.

I do. I have got an old Pentium 90 running Windows 95. It still works great and I used to play some classics on it. You can run even old version of Windows Messenger or Internet Explorer on it.

Anyway, back to topic. I tried AROS (icaros 1.3.3 ?) in VirtualPC some months ago. It boots fast but my overall experience was that it needs work. Wanderer was quite basic, Zune is quite basic, the gfx has strong retro touch on it, window decorations cant be changed without reboot. It could be much better if someone finished those small things. It wasnt bad but too much tinkering to my taste.
