Still looks a good while from being usable yet. When will it be binary compatible with AmigaOS?

When someone updates the port for the Amiga Classic Hardware.  :-D

Other than that, Run UAE in it.  :-P

I like very much the Xen style buttons (http://aros.sourceforge.net/pictures/screenshots/20030403/skin_zune1.jpeg) that provides Zune rather than the classic buttons (http://aros.sourceforge.net/pictures/screenshots/20030403/masonicons.png) (look at the execute command buttons)

Can we put a pattern in the wanderer windows or only in its screen for the moment?

It already is, as long as it's run on an Amiga.  :-P  The x86 port will never be binary compatible, but is already source compatible.

How about OpenPCI? Does AROS use. or plan to use OpenPCI?

How soon will we have TCP/IP?  :-D  :-D  :-D

We have one developer who is making our PCI drivers "OpenPCI" compatible.
So in a word, yes :-)

The best things, as they say, come to those who wait... that certainly applies to anything Amiga related  :-P

Work is continuing albeit very slowly...
