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".

Sorry? Care to elaborate?

Wasn't AROS for a "just for the sake of it" project?  I might not be remembering my conversation with the main co-ordinator of the project a few years back very well, but I could have sworn it was talked along those lines.  I fully admit to the possibility that I could be wrong, and/or the goals of the project have changed since then :-)

If AROS were a "for the sake of it" project you'd not see me working on it, even if just in my spare time. Aaron may have his view on it (but don't let yourself be tricked by "politically correct" words... get what I mean?), but most of the people involved in the project have pretty much other opinions on the matter, myself included.

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.
