success or failure, how will it affect the 'tiny hobby market' of the very few die hard ppc/OS4 fans? Where do you pull this melodramatic spiritual ancestor stuff?


I undestood that your path of AROS succsess is started by Amiga OS failure and total bankrupcy. AROS was created as de facto Amiga OS copy for x86, thus I used term "spiritual ancestor" for Amiga OS. My English is rather weak - maybe misunderstanding on my side?

I fully agree.

AROS isnt really good on its own...its got a long way to go.


AROS is good on its own as new OS. It is not really neccessary to push it instead of Amiga OS. Yes, AROS need much work to become useable - but you can say the same about most "alternative OSs".

On the assumption Commodore usa manage to sell plenty of pc's and want to develop it (I stated I think's it unlikely - but never say never) - There is the potential for it to overtake OS4 in users by a ####load.


Linux users, yes.
