Hi Don, it could certainly be part of the Revolution!

We would like that...;-)

How is the port coming?!

I never understood the reason why AOS won't be ported officially on x86.

Given it's small footprint, it shurely would fly on the current  CPU's.

Oh well, Aros is there for grabs  :-D (and somehow I believe more in the future of Aros then AOS4.0- nofi)

Indeed AROS does fly on a 3Ghz CPU... Damn I hate intel, but the 3Ghz P4 is a really nice machine... :-D (I'd take the Athlon64 anyday though)

There wouldn't have been any money in it.

Okay so for purly a 'for the fun of it' POV AROS would be cool on Pegasos, I would love to play with it, after all I do know PPC assembler much better than x86 assem.

But what do the ordinary 'user class' of users get out of it? Especially if there are a reduced number of apps?
