Hi everybody,

I know this issue is discussed before.
But I think that AROS is the best choice of all.

How do you guys think about this?

Since Amithlon isn't in the running, AROS is the only choice.

I still plan on having an A1 and a peg3, but having to hope a hardware company is able to stick around makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

AROS right now is an OS with all the disadvantages of AmigaOS, with the added complication that it runs a thousandth of the software. Having to recompile everything when very little Amiga software was actually open source is a killer.

Agreed. That's AROS' biggest hurdle, but unfortunately whenever I raised the point in the past it has been dismissed as irrelevant or invalid. That doesn't bode well for it being seriously addressed any time soon.

It's not irrelevant or invalid, there's just not much that can be done about it, other than changing the way things are done now, so it doesn't happen again in the future. All the other solutions don't address this problem in the long run(well, except Amithlon)... if the hardware becomes commercially abandoned, we're in the same boat again.

Is irony a good chosen word when you look at that screenshot? I dont even know what the default theme for MOS is :-? All i have seen has some sort of OS3.9 & OS4.0 copied themes? Whats up with that? Its like skinning windows xp so that it looks like Mac OSX, if you do that, just buy Mac OSX :-P

Do you guys really miss OS4 so much? :-D

OS4 isn't out, so it can't be a case of MorphOS copying OS4 themes. If by chance OS4 looks similar to these MorphOS themes, are we going to ask OS4 users if they miss MorphOS that much? ;-)
