I would like to take an informal poll here..
How many folks here have went to aros.org and actually downloaded the ISO and burned it and booted it on a native i386 machine? Even running from a CD and with the new full color VESA driver it's DAMN FAST, especially on my 1 gigahertz machine and on my 1.8 ghz laptop it screams.
It looks like OS3.1 smells like OS3.1 oh wait, no need for chip ram and fast ram, it will use any ram for it. Wow PARALLAX SCROLLING like in Shadow of the Beast COOOL...
I used to be an amiga developer during the Commodore era, and I have to say YEAH! No BPTRs, no weird semiphores, wow a hardware abstraction layer... Wow all my old devcon disks with source compile and run without much if any at all modification (under the linux hosted developer version)..
Oh wait.. this is a clone of an OS, how does it get this compatible with a clean room implementation. Wow it's implemented right with actual hooks for the future. I now care less about 68k emulation after running this. Hey wait, we need a good Paint program for this..
Maybe I will write one, everything is there to make it work.. Hey this works on a machine I already got and due to it's memory implementation it seems a lot faster than Mac OSX or Windows XP..
Okay folks, those are my thoughts, now how many of you with intel boxes there (yeah I know you are in the closet about it) have really tried this and like it?
Who here supports their valliant effort? I for one do.. I wanna hear from you.. I don't need to hear about PPCs and OS4 or MorphOS.. I wanna know who here truly likes AROS better like I do.. Have you gave it a free spin and a chance. A 1.8 gigahz machine with and Amiga like OS is nothing to look down on..
So one sentence do you like aros?? C'mon everyone..
