I'm afraid AROS is of no interest to me, for sort of the same reasons bhogget stated for himself. I'm not interested in x86 hardware, and my PPC hardware already has MOS, already does everything I'd expect from AROS. AROS right now is an OS with all the disadvantages of AmigaOS, with the added complication that it runs a thousandth of the software. Having to recompile everything when very little Amiga software was actually open source is a killer.
