Aros is already supporting ARM... and AmigaOS will propably never be ported to other platforms because of licensing issues

Can't resist my 2 cents here...

yea but too bad:
1> aros has absolutely nothing to do with real amiga's..other than being a native pc wanna be copy.... and now arm aparently.

2> doesn't take advantage of all the existing 68K amiga software out there

3>doesn't run amiga games

4> doesnt run on real amiga hardware(and i don't mean the crap that has boing ball stickers all over it).

5>  oddly aros is to be done for the real amiga? what a joke. so a old,real amiga is supposed to run aros apps written for a 3ghz+ pc? yea that will work really fine.
its the same problem now,we have people coding bloatware for 68K amigaos written on a emulator with 32MB chip ram,and crazy speed,so it crawls and is useless for real 68K machines. its contaminating aminets code base.

Aros is just another fork in the road to take amiga developers off real machines that won't be any use to anyone(except people who dont have a clue what an amiga really is).

Without getting everyone on the same page(remember when we all furthered real amiga's along),i dont think there is much hope of getting anywhere if putting licensing and copyright issues aside.You just cant make good progress when you are split in 6+ directions.
