OK, that's nice...
That's always been one of my personal (i.e. My OWN, not anything based on anything other than my own feelings; not saying anyone else's definition is wrong!!!) requirements for an OS being "Amiga."...  ;-)

Interesting, Im not big or very knowledgeable on Aros, but I assume from the video it means that screen dragging has only just been achieved on Aros ?

If so then what else does Aros currently lack at the moment and when is it likely to become a fully functioning OS... :)

I have been asked this question a lot and I removed part of the video that showed this just to introduce the new feature. I will do another next week to show all parts of the functionality with multiple screens diferent resolutions etc.

Aros has most functionality needed now, when ICAROS 1.2.5 is ready, download it and try it, there is no charge except for the hardware. If you send me a 4gb memory stick I can set it up for you and post back to try on any pc.

Proper screen dragging... sweet!  I really should dust off one of these WinTel boxes and play around with Aros one of these days.

Looks like with the help of Icaros, one has the capability to turn their WinTel box into something fun. I really need to look into this stuff more.

Not trying to start a flame war, but wondering what people prefer here:

Aros - Needs Windoze booted first and then Aros program?
Icaros - looks to be a self-booting Aros environment?
MorphOS - This I've played around with, nice faux/enahnced AmigaOS - too bad the Apple conversions done for it lately are dancing around all the models I own  :(

Just want to point out that AROS has never needed Windows to boot (in fact it couldn't until a year ago, be hosted in Windows)... I have only ever used the x86 native (self booting version) for the past 10 years.

Icaros is a distribution, which comes with Apps and has the preferences set up in a certain way. This is one of the nicest ways to try AROS... but you can download the nightly builds which are more raw (i.e. like AOS 3.1), but work just the same.

Thanks for clarifying. I misunderstood what you said previously in response #6  :)

Screen dragging was functional under AROS windows hosted version before.
Its nice to see screen dragging has been achieved in AROS nouveau driver for people who want to run AROS native with hardware accelerated graphics.

Thanks for the kind offer, but I've never owned a PC (and after much debate recently I'm even more convinced I never will...), I was under the impression that Aros was a bit like Classic OS4.0 (only better) and could be run on Classic Amiga hardware. Looks like I'll have to do a bit more reading up about just what Aros is. :)

Thanks anyway... :)
