What changes will this mean for AROS? What benefits?

Just curious because I don't understand much about the gui end of AROS.

zune is opensource mui replacement, the base of aros gui and currently available also for afa_os. for aros it means improved compatibility with mui applications on 68k, that currently do not work under it, like ibrowse, and also a better portability especially of mos software. say digibooster, mui owb, the like. effectively it would finally render aros a usable os and give it broader potential application base.

The biggest problems I have with Zune are:
- crashes when trying to preview the GUI in MUIBuilder
- no drag'n'dop of formulas in MathX
I really hope those get fixed.
