But it's practically pointless, if most of the community is always waiting for Xmas, struggling in a stupid red-blue war, eternally waiting for AInc to do something, or the MOS team to lower MorphOS prices. AROS is here and it's costantly improving, it runs on x86 and SAM today and for free. It's time for the community to decide if it prefer going on to rely on someone else, or turning to action and take control of the platform by itself.
Paolo, even if AROS was at the same status that OS4/MorphOS are there would be an important advantage about using OS4/MorphOS and that is compatibility with older apps. There's a good number of users who think it's important for them, so AROS-PPC won't catch them until it gets m68k/OS4/MOS compatibility.
Anyway, hats off... Dr Schulz is a master and he has done a great job! I would really love to see AROS-PPC versions get m68k/OS4/MOS compatibility in the future, but this is a very important step. It's the first public self-hosted AROS-PPC version.
Hosted versions for OSX and Windows may appear in the future so AROS definitely is alive... very alive!
