There's UAE for that(retro fun). Quote: but have Glass Elevator project for features that will go beyond the features that BeOS compatibility permits. Where's something like that for AROS? How much longer will we be dragging on with OS 3.1 API? 2015? 2020? 2030?

Anubis OS is the Amiga 'glass elevator' project, if you want the future ahead of time, work on it. Main reason it stalled, IMO, was lack of ideas. Design a new Amiga API and you might be able to kick start it.

AROS is a usable system, it has its fans, myself included. Not everything is limited by the OS 3.1 API, by the way. For instance, AROS has the most modern graphics card support out of all the Amiga flavours, the best audio drivers, WiFi is on its way, etc... My point is, plenty of room for growth with AROS as it stands now, OS 3.1 is not the noose around its neck you make it out to be.
