VmwAROS provides the best AROS experience to everyone interested in using it. Former AmigaOS users can use their applications until an AROS one will be ported or re-created from scratch, AROS users can enjoy a completely pre-configured desktop and developers will find a complete development chain waiting for them, which includes Murks!IDE and a whole set of examples, languages, compilers, libraries and interpreters. People coming from other operating systems will find a smart, not-invasive, niche environment they can help improving too.
As usual, VmwAROS comes in two versions: Live! and VE. Live! provides a bootable DVD which can be launched and installed on real hardware and, for the first time, it includes also a Qemu based virtual machine for safer (but slower) testing. VE is the same environment, but already installed on a VMware virtual machine. For any further information, screenshots and download links, just contact VmwAROS official website at

(1) you'll need a legitimate copy of original AmigaOS files, Amiga ROM images and applications. VmwAROS directly supports Amiga Forever from Cloanto, which includes all the needed files.
