A Windows PC running AROS that's running Windows. My question is how many PC's does it take to change a lightbulb?  :roflmao:

Well, dude, if you can't even understand the basics of emulation/virtualization, and evaluate how much interesting can be virtualizing older Windows versions (which, indeed, don't actually work on the bare metal anymore, on modern computers), then you don't seem quite entitled to laugh. And I wonder... how many Kesa it take to change a lightbulb?

On a more serious note I think it is sad the only thing AROS (whom many consider the future of the Amiga) is good for is running a Windows emulator. What else can AROS do? Show me something interesting.

AROS can do pretty much the same things other Amiganoid OSes can do, just quicker, faster and cheaper. From the value POV (features for the price) ratio is unbeatable, and already includes some better technologies than the others. And it gives you even more freedom, since you can choose between different distributors, different platforms, even different architectures, spanning from classic Amigas (M68K) to modern PCs (x86 or x86-64), and including many other gadgets like tablets and smartphones (ARM). It can even work on some PPC systems, just for the records.
