If I understand AROS, there is first hardware, then linux and then on top of that AROS.

No AROS sits on the Hardware directly. Though to aid development, it can run hosted on Linux, yes. Running hosted offers debugging tools etc.

But in the linux compartment? It will not be AROS running it. It will just acces what comes out of it in a window.

You can run AROS Hosted and VMware at the same time on linux if you like.

Can't you see any way to do this, can't you see the world of difference it will make??

I see what you mean... I guess you could X11 it yeah... has anyone ported X11 to AROS?

You can't have VMWARE on AROS until AROS will achieve full and stable Virtual Memory System...

Any virtual machine should run in a virtual sandbox created using virtual memory system...

Virtual memory on AROS is still at its beginning and there are just two experimental VM systems...

And why couldn't the writers of VMWare not implement a virtual memory system themselves in their program?

No, the Hypervisor of the VM needs to be able to allocate address spaces which have specific address ranges...

At this time AROS uses the AmigaOS flat memory space, so the hypervisor can't allocate "custom" address spaces.
