With regard to that comment I just stated that AmigaOS XL may also be of interest to people, nothing more and nothing less. I just noted you are an AROS developer, please don't feel offended. I have absolutely nothing against AROS, but IMO it still has a long road to go to offer anything as advanced as for instance what the average user gets if they try that my WinUAE tutorial.

I mostly use "IMO" or "I believe that" when stating my personal opinions, and I do so alot. I consider it a fact that Bernie's emulator offers a faster and more feature complete solution to general users, currently.

I do not, however I am convinced AROS still has a long way to go to offer me a feature complete solution.

Sorry. What do you mean? Nobody has contacted me privately
with regard to AROS lately!? Most questions I receive privatley are with regard to AmigaOS4 and AmigaDE!?
