I think AROS would be fine and enough as long as those people start making efforts for support of decent notebooks which are most people's PCs nowadays.

I don't think PC users are looking for another operating system these days, so it's not at all clear to me how porting OS4 over to that equipment is going to make it mainstream, especially if OS4 is not available for free (given the availability of Linux).


I think what you said in just a few words is a critically important opinion, ought to be killing this very x86 crusade.

Peace!
