Once AROS has more applications it will easily break the 10 minute barrier, i know this will happen but the more people who get involved the better.
One of AROS's strengths is the fact it isnt owned by amiga inc. with aros everyone is free to contribute and use it, its very refreshing considering Amiga OS 4 being so tied down to licenceing crap.
AROS has been around for years, since the dark days of commodores bankrupcy, i do recall reading it was once called Amiga Replacement Operating System. maybe once it has reached an even greater level of maturity the R can be changed to another R word.
Most amiga software is nearly 10 years old! and very few applications are being developed at the moment, so i see no reason why some sort of binary compatability is a must, aros was never intended to work as such, Its Amiga OS for a new world.
