This hosted AROS alternative has got me thinking.....

(brainstorming mode on)

We've all been talking about Anubis for so long...and its Linux underpinnings.
Perhaps the answer is obvious..and we can do something in a similar vein..
possibly out of necessity because of these legal shenanigans.
I don't know.
As we know AROS sticks to completing the AmigaOS API.
BUT THEN
We are thinking of creating our own distinctive Linux distro for the PC64 anyway.
Perhaps called "Commodore OS". Not sure we can get away with "Workbench".
Something a little different but hopefully cool. Maybe something E17 based.
If the User wants they can then trigger the auto download and setup of AROS in a virtual machine.
THEN
Perhaps we can do some sort of coherence mode....similar to how Windows runs in MacOSX, that melds the two UI's together.

Then we get the best of both worlds.
A) A modern software stack through Linux,
B) a classic API with a form of memory protection through the virtual machine
C) a base to continue the further development of AROS.
D) no need to concern ourselves with native hardware drivers.

(brainstorming mode off)

We would effectively be creating a super Linux-AROS-Workbench hybrid.
Perhaps that makes no sense...
What do you think?
