Amiga Platform

AROS won't win because it's an entirely different architecture, unless something really twisted happens. But then, AROS wasn't intended to "win".

Not sure what you mean by enirely different architecture... AROS is an AmigaOS 3.1 Clone which is portable accross 68, PPC and x86 (and hopfully more in future)...

But I do agree that AROS was not set up with the intention to win. It is an effort to give the community a Free AmigaOS clone to run on any hardware they choose

So what's your plan then?  To see AROS become the primary Amiga-like platform, but on x86?

The plan is to complete AROS (as complete as an OS can be) and make it appealing to people. If it will become people's first choice, it's, well, their choice, we just work on what we think is right, which however doesn't mean that we work on it just for the sake of it.

I is important to remember that the AROS dev  team work very very hard to make AROS. It is our hope that we can give people a viable choice, which is available to them to run on any hardware they choose.

Well feel it's important to have an AmigaOS clone that is not governed by the comercial or political motives of one or several companies, but instead by the needs and desires of the Amiga community.

If you also feel this way, then AROS is there for you.
