AROS: Onboard the Last Train to Amiga Neverland

[Nautilus]

Very nice article. But I think that AmigaOS5 for x86 will decrease the interest in Aros.

AROS itself is cool, but it has very few software avaiable. It's almost unuseful. I prefer to wait for OS5.

I am sure the mystical OS5 has a lot more native Software...

Hehehe. If OS5 is a multiplatform OS4, so any AmigaOS software will run on it, but AROS unfortunately can't do that.

I have waited far too long, so I am supporting AROS as good as I can.

AROS deserves all of our support! But if OS5 really comes to life, AROS will be irrelevant.

You would have to emulate 68k AND PPC transparently in this creepy OS5 !

OSX do that, why not OS5?

OS5:  runs on any Amiga licensed Hardware, which is the same as nowhere.

I'm not sure if with OS5 they will make the same mistake of OS4 that runs only on licensed hardware. According to Bill McEwen's interview, OS5 will have broader hardware coverage.

AROS is cool, but with no future.

Emulation like WinUAE or a system like AROS are VERY useful

UAE runs on so many systems, that it's irrelevant that it's in AROS or not.

I just said in this thread that I put AROS on a flash drive. (...) don't underestimate the possiblities that AROS provides. Open your mind.

I have a open mind. You've mentioned AROS on flash, but BasiliskII/SheepShaver with MacOS7.6.1 running on a flash is much more useful and flexible than AROS with UAE.

AROS IS REALLY COOL, but not useful until it has some really good software.
