Not sure you listened to BigGuns podcast regarding the future of Vampire.
And the Apollo-Team havent really given alot of information regarding what they plan to do with regards to AROS or AOS, or which way they are going.
But BigGun did follow a train of thought during the podcast that if you want to stick to AOS on Vampire, knock yourself out, but for future ADVANCES AOS could be a problem due to its limitations.
Many will be more than content with the original, AOS, coupled with 060++ level speed and ram. Ive seen many comments along the line of "I use and love C64, Spectrum, Amiga etc with its inherit limitations, and use mainstream PCs for everything else".
BigGun acknowledges this clearly, but also looks at what Vampire potentially CAN do, and then concludes AOS, for its strenghts and weaknesses, will be too limited for his plans.
Listening to the podcast, BigGun seemed inclined to prefer AOS if it could be developed more freely, I guess opensource, but capitulates more or less to the realisation that this will most likely never happen.
Enter AROS.
