Save AmigaOS! I can't be bothered.

Signed... Doubt it will help though..

I honestly dont understand what you mean starke.. Why would aros have a bigger chance of failing when it is open source? i would believe it was the opposite? Having more people support aros could actually make it into a real alternative. The main problem with aros now is lack of software and drivers, which is due to the fact that it lacks users.

Aros is atleast not controlled by a single entity and thus it will be no problem porting it to a device as long as it has enough support and developers. Why OS4 has not been released yet, is actually due to it being controlled by Amiga INC and their refusal to do anything with it.

Also, what companies would bother making hardware for AROS??

None.. But that is not just a negative thing. Aros team can actually pick any hardware that they want, be it x86, ppc or even port it to the classic amigas using old m68k or your pda.
AmigaOS on the other hand is locked to only one piece of hardware that is no longer in production.

How the hell is AROS going to continue in future with no funds coming in,

That is the wonders of open source.. The aros team does not expect to get paid. Though a donation here and there does not hurt.

when the Old AROS team desides to stop, and let others do it, how can we be assured that others will do it??

If it has users and enough support, then there will always be someone who will code just like with linux. But it needs the support from the amiga community for that to continue.

[Tomas]

but yet at the same time your willing to support OS4 by signing the petition.

Of course.. I wish to see OS4 succeed, but my expectations of that happening is sadly low at the moment due to the lack of hardware.

@dammy
Just looking at their website will be enough proof that they do not care a {bleep} about AmigaOS4 or the classic. They have not even bothered to update the information about OS4!
