Re: Windows-hosted AROS

Hello everybody!
I know with the following comment I'll probably be "somehow insulted", but I want to express my opinion.

I'm not an AROS user (don't use/play with it regulary), but I support the idea behind it (if you read a some of my past posts in other threads).
But one thing that I don't like, or at least a thing that I consider a waste of time, is to propose AROS in various "flavours" (for virtual machines, for Windows, running natively, etc.).

Human resources are scarce (time and developers) and so I think that would be advisable to concentrate on one or two main projects, in my opinion the "native boot-off-a-bare PC" and maybe the real Amiga one (the 68k version).

Creating such various alternatives, or flavours, creates a mess in the already fractioned Amiga panorama (MorphOS, AmigaOS 3.X, AmigaOS 4.X, AROS, what else? :(  ).

Of course I have the maximum respect for developers involved in such AROS projects, something I couldn't manage for sure (knowledge, time, etc.), and because they do this manly for passion.

But please think over: this multiplying of alternatives is disorienting the few users even more!
