And for those who really want to move on and take AmigaOS to the next level, AROS is the answer.


Erm, for those who want to take amigaos to the previous previous previous level you mean. AROS needs to have some 68k emulation (but not in that "UAE integration" way), but above all it needs to really *work* first and be a lot more polished that it is now. At the moment it really feels unfinished in most places (prefs, desktop, drivers...) and less functional than 3.1.

But remember that for all of them, there is currently only one solution for full classic compatibility: UAE. And I bet when AROS gets UAE integration, it will gain a LOT more popularity.


I'm impatient to see how it will be implemented. Some simple integration (which already exists on mos for instance, where you can just doubleclick on a 68k app or adf/hdf image through a special ambient contextmenu entry) is acceptable for games/demos/fullscreen apps, but for system applications (ibrowse, anr, ftp clients, ...) it would just suck very badly, since it doesn't provide full interaction and coherence with the host system.
