AROS anyone?

maybe when it's "Dramatically better, with applications"

Ahem what? Linux is being used to aid in development. So what? I still say done right, and with enough community support, AROS has a chance to unseat Linux as the number 2 x86 OS.

AROS cannot qualify as an operating system until they have their own kernel. I would like to remind you that it has taken nearly 10 years for linux to become what it is today (with a support AROS will never have). Also being the number 2 x86 OS does not mean anything anymore because x86 will be obsolete in a few years time. Right now it's too late to design an OS for this architecture.

If that's not what you meant, I'd like to know what you think will replace RISC86/x86.

I mean 64 bit x86 architecture and cell/new generation PPC architectures (xenon in xbox360, etc).

"Support AROS will never have?" We'll see... I meerly suggest it is possible.

nothing is impossible, I just wanted to say you underestimate linux and how much work put into it and overlook the fact that it's the kernel which is the most time consuming to code and critically important for OS' robustness and usability.
