Yes that is what is missing from AROS right now I think, the ability to start 68k programs. If it is possible to run system friendly apps in the future I think AROS will become much more popular than today and there wont be as much preasure for AROS to have a broad range of software available (although native ported AROS apps are important to!).
It was a bit disturbing that the menu was not fixed at the top of the screen, I would have prefered the meny at the top like on classic Amigas. But all in all it was a fantastic experience... I look forward to installing AROS on my Mini-ITX computer in the future.
