I have been out of touch with Aros for a while. The HD kicked the bucket. But today I installed the latest version of icaros and its good to see all the progress being made.

Many thanks to the Aros team for the latest edition.

Quote from: Hell Labs;537948
Give me and some guys a CD with AmigaOS on it and i'll... Probably make a pirate copy. That analogy doesn't work, damn. I'll think one up in a bit.



Hell Labs actually proves that Hyperion's strategy are sound. Now a hacker have to buy the hardware and there by supporting further development of the platform, and anyone using this hypothetical cracked software have to, again,  buy the hardware and further more support development.

What Hyperion does is probably the only way to protect Amiga.

Aros is Amiga x86, and you can show your appreciation by donating.

I can't believe that some of you guys have missed how cool Aros is. You are in a modern Amiga Os, yet you have access to multiple emulators for the main retro machines like,  UAE, c64 emulations and dosbox. OWB takes care of the last parts to make it a usable every day machine with google docs.

It needs more love and devs and if you a coder please help out.

Anyway, one of the best things about Amiga land is the multitude of projects and there is no obligation to vomit over projects that don't catches your eye for the moment. You just pick what your interested in. I'm glad they're all there.
