This one I don't get. Why all this talk about retro and hobby crap. AROS can be soooo much more than that. It already is.

I'm surprised you'd argue against that. It really isn't much more right now. If you're targeting it at a type of user, you have to be honest about its capabilities.

You can't expect people to run it in a corporate environment. There's no decent office software, limited support for proxy, no VPN, limited options on email, nothing on calendaring or project management, no back-up facilities, no SMB, NFS, Bonjour or other networking, no logging onto a domain, no security, less robust filesystems and a general lack of stability.

The same applies at any design outlet, and even a freelancer will get the job done quicker on Windows, Mac or even Linux, assuming that the software even exists on AROS. We have options for graphics and sound now, but can it really be a professional decision to use it over what Adobe, Apple, Microsoft, Autodesk, Quark and the likes have?

If we're not honest, AROS will get a load of really #### press because people expect too much.

Already, Commodore USA called AROS "robust". Well there's false advertising. If I'm used to an idea of 'robust' and expect that from AROS, I'll be wanting my money back. You know I like AROS, but let's not set expectations it can't live up to.
