What will Amiga forums be talking about in 2007 or 2008? How about 2010?

Hmm... AROS splits into two camps and users are killing each others.

As far as memory protection, can you tell me honestly that it's turned on by DEFAULT?
Probably not because it introduces incompatibilities with some software.
Yes it on, it detects some errors (it not fully enabled)

So in the future memset(SysBase->MainInterface, 0, 0x12345678); cant screw up system?

We don't have Mplayer (yet), but we have a commandline app, named "play", which uses the same codecs mplayer uses, which can therefore play back anything mplayer can.

Is it "easy" to recompile old Amiga programs to AROS? When porting to MorphOS or AmigaOS4 you mainly finetune your hooks and possibly 68k varargs functions, but I have no idea what kind of precautions are needed for AROS code?
