I certainly appreciate your views, and I respect you're decision to make such a firm stand against the open source movement.
I would like to note however, that;

1. The Amiga has been sustained by the effors of people producing free software for the last 6 years.

2. IM Humble O an operating system should be free, while I agree that commercial software is generally of better quality than OSS. Operating sysems have been proven to be more secure and more stable if development is open source.

3. I agree that the version of AROS you download now are not worth keeping. We are constantly trying to improve AROS, we can't do that unless people download what we have done so far and test it for us, telling us what needs to be done for them... Hopefully one day in the not too distant future you will be able to download AROS and find it more useful, but unless you give us clear pointers as to what you need then we can't help you directly.

4. Try to keeps comments positive, I really don't like negativity.
