Just wanted to say i voted for WorkBench!

However, i voted for workbench not because it makes AROS more usable (well part of that :)) - but i think it would be most benifitial.

That is, a workbench will lueur users. ATM you got dos on a disk, which isnt really interesting. When we have ta GUI to play with, Sorry, workbench, it will possibly attract users and hopfuly developers. More developers is always cool :).

On the poll page they mention improving workbench will be done later. I hope they work on something similar to AmigaOS. That is integrate a magic menu and birdie type system into it intuition (or whatever GUI library they use)!!!

Would be so purdy... But the point is, Workbench will make it look like a more complete OS!! - which will luerer people looking for that alternate OS.

Also, there needs to be an easy way to install AROS on you x86 HDD!!!

Bloody <-- if i can call you that :)...

The CD iso was made out to be dangerous on the website... Like, hrmm... cant remember what it said... but i didnt like the sound of it...

With the ISO does that contain the filesystem and everthing on it? - Sounds good, but yer, i dont think i'd be able to do much with out a workbench...

Nice to hear you have MUI like functionalities in the menu! But a workbench i think would attract more users and when people start to see a workbench in screen shots, more and more people will have a lookse at it, which i think will attract users.

Do you plan on making your system POSIX compliant? Or atleast be able to compile POSIX apps?

Will it also be possible to compile somthing like BASH and be able to use different shells?

I also like the addition of the multiuser file system :) - very very nice adition. Hrmm, will AROS be multiuser like Unix?

Do you plan on implimenting many other Unix features (like the multiuser file system) in AROS? In other words, steal ideas :), which is always good!!! - windows has made lotsa money out of it!
