It cannot stay that way indefinitely: making the operating system more friendly towards the use of today's hardware rather than having the developers spent an awful amount of time jumping through hoops, will have to happen.


So I guess we are talking about bringing AROS 68k to the point where it can be used as everyone's main operating system(bugfixes/optimisation).  Or waiting until the Copyright expires on OS3.1 (70 years?) so the leaked source code can be expanded upon.  I wonder which will happen first. :)

Well, there could be a "door #3", too ;)


I remember seeing OS4.0 beta running fully 68k many years ago so I'm going to guess OS4.1FE compiled for 68k is the "door #3".  Hyperion motivated by the new breed of Vampire FPGA accelerators which are only going to keep getting faster.  More people to sell operating systems to.
