Is AROS the future of the Amiga?


Hmmm... Good question... It's certainly the future of my Amiga... but then I doubt many people here doubt that :-D

I hope that people will enjoy using AROS, even if it isn't their main Amgia experience :-)

I still have a TS-1500 and a TS-2068.  What would the Sinclair equivalents of those be?

Ahem, oh yeah, AROS, lookin' good. :-D


ZX Spectrums, I guess.

Asking "Is AROS the future of the Amiga?" is like asking "Is Wine the future of Windows?"


So you agree with Red then? Since M$ themselves have had to build a "Wine layer" for XP64 and Longhorn...

Excellent thread this, with some wonderful debate.

I downloaded the bootable AROS last week and ran it.  Apart from my mouse not working, I was genuinely stunned at what has been achieved so far.


Can you give more details about your set up?
