Curious about AROS

[dammy]

Apples and oranges. AROS doesn't run 68k Amiga software, so it is a totally different kettle of fish to [Win]UAE. AROS only *looks* like AmigaOS. It isn't really.

1. There is EUAE for running Amiga68K apps.
2. AROS is mostly AOS 3.1 API compliant.  
3. Currently AROS is being ported to X86_64, PPC and Amiga68K.

But there is no integration to the system. It's just like running UAE on linux or windows.

For now, that is true.  This is the reason why DiscreetFX will be dumping in $1K to the existing EUAE Integration Bounty.  It's a wonderful thing when Corporate Sponors start funding a community based OS.

But not ABI compliant (which is the point here anyway).

motorollin is right there, you can't compare [Win]UAE and AROS.

True for now as well.  With several devs now looking at bringing AROS68K back into maintained for kickstart replacement Phase I and II, that may not be so true for AROS68K in the near future.  

AROS clearly needs more improvement for end users, no doubt about it.  There is also no doubt that it's moving forward as well and opening up to more arch's.  This month maybe a wonderful month for AROS.  :cheers:
