Actually, while it might appear that "AROS stole the show",this has to be the least important announcement of those three. I mean, seriously, are you going to buy an overpriced Acube board to run AROS at 1/3 the speed you could run it on much cheaper X86 hardware?

Its sillly.

Now Warp3D support for Radeon HD cards? That's cool. Thanks Trevor.



I guess it depends on what apps that version of AROS can run. ;)

Presumably that would be combined with an x86 JIT, though I've been baffled for years that WINE doesn't already include that for non-x86 architectures...

(There would also be whatever software was written for Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 on PowerPC, but I don't know that there was ever much of that.)



darwine has included a x86 emulator for years... or you could just use wine with the qemu userspace emulation layer.

Ah, interesting. Too bad it's abandoned. Any idea how performance is on PPC?



I would imagine pretty slow but depending on what's running who cares.
