In my humble opinion it really doesnt matter. For me, AROS is just as much part of the amiga experience as is my amithlon box, as is my a1200. I dont believe theyre as "Amiga" (capital "A") as the machines designed in the 80's and early 90's (nor do I think MOS or OS4.x are), but so long as it looks, behaves and walks like Im a duck, Im happy to call it a duck. Ironically, despite my acceptance of all amiga flavors, the one thing I see myself being reluctant to accept as "amiga" are the machines being produced by C-USA, not because I dislike them (Im not fond, but that doesnt play any part in my opinion), but because it appears they'll share nothing with the ancestory the name derives from.
