It would also be nice if it had a half-decent web-browser and office suite.
You can add to that list:
*It does not integrate 68k/full Kickstart emulation.
Using original programs within UAE just does not cut it for me.
I'd like to run my old programs without having to track down the source code, rewriting portions of that code and crossing my fingers as it recompiles in hopes that it will work under AROS.
This is the main reason why I have stayed away from it (no offense, I've used AROS and think it's great, but if it can't run legacy software in its original binary form, then its inability to exploit the Amiga's vast software library really makes it unattractive to me).
I'm in the "wait n see" stage right now concerning AROS.
