From the price of the A1 motherboards.

AROS shows what could have been, and it would have been a great OS (AROS is great, even though it's nowhere near complete).  I think modern x86 architecture deserves a decent lightweight OS, and that's not mutually exclusive with OS4 or MOS (however that ends up).

the advantage of something like AROS became pretty apparent
ok, now imagine AROS running in 64 bit, at 4GHz ...
