Hmmmm....Let me get this straight. AROS is not compatable with any Amiga software at all?


You can't run Amiga executables on it directly, but...

Or is it a simple matter of recompilation?


AROS is supposed to be compatible at source-code level. As far as I'm aware, recompiling programs for AROS requires little or no changes to the program source.

I guess...errr....cool..and all.....but what does it mean?

What can I actually do with AROS?

Except look like I am using an Amiga.


No, if you want to look like you're using an Amiga, use WindowBlinds on top of Win2K.

AROS is an Amiga-like OS that aims to run on a variety of different architectures. How it looks is not really important.
