Would you buy OS4 or MOS for x86?

Pipedream obviously, but figured it;d be worth a talk anyways :)

The question is pretty obvious.

EDIT: Left out any talk of ARM. You can mentally substitute I guess

The question isn't whether its realistic. I know its not, and admitted as much above.

The question is if you'd buy it ;)

My opinion too. Therefore I voted to wait for the Amitendo.


Did we hire you already?

This is true. Unfortunately AROS doesn´t suport any hardware I ever used in my life. I tried. Even at work.

So the point is not wheter it supports all hardware.

The point is whether it supports yours.

BTW. The same is true for MorphOS. While I owned about 8 Macs in my life, none of them was on the list. And I always bought the most recent popular models from 2000 to 2008.


I keep checking AROS occasionally.
Some day, I'll dig around for cheap old hardware from the supported list, and put together a little AROS machine, but for now, it refuses to play nice with my computer.
