It should, in theory. My understanding is, and it may be faulty, is that it is AROS with the linux kernel at it's core. That should, at least, give them a wider range of drivers.
The tricky part for them is to make it commercially viable. If they can turn it into a profit, then they will have more time to devote to it and more time to make it better. Eventually, if it's successful enough, they can take it in the direction it should go.
That's the biggest obstacle to AROS right now. With no leadership, the only things devs can agree on is AmigaOS compatibility, and that, pretty much, keeps things locked in the past. Open Source can be it's own worst enemy.
But, to be fair, so can commercial enterprises. So, once again, I wish them well. I will be paying attention.
