Really fantastic news that AROS is getting good UAE integration. I think I mentioned here two/three (or was it four) years ago, integrated 68k emu will be the killer application for AROS. Once I get some free time again I am going to participate actively in the AROS community.
OS4.1 is nice but expensive. I had a hard time motivating a 600 euro system when I did not use that as my primary workstation. I think what nailed the coffin for me was when I tried out AROS live installation on virtual system and ran AROS with the OS4 skin.
Could I tell the difference between OS4 and AROS? Yes, off course. The difference is huge, AROS is not finished yet. Did it bother me? No, not at all, because a next-gen Amiga will not become a workstation for me. Maybe with x86 AROS can have something such as WINE implemented and we can finally run Photoshop and x86 apps in Workbench environment?
Time for a new bounty?
