Amiga & AROS Saturday November 8, I received an email from someone, inquiring if I would be interested in "doing a first interview/introduction into a new operating system". We get these emails and news submissions all the time, and most of the time, "new operating system" means Ubuntu-with-a-black-theme, so we don't bother. I figured this time things wouldn't be different, but after a bit of digging around, there's a little more to it this time.

Who is going to take seriously the notion that they're actually going to finish what they start if they just give up on AROS??
If they had just completed their original goal of porting OS3.1 to the X86, instead of trying to get AROS to work on every latest whiz-bang piece of hardware, they could have been done a long time ago with AROS.

Then again, who is going to take 3.1 API seriously in 2008? I sure don't see an explosion of new users for OS4 or MOS, do you? There is a reason for that, even though you probably wouldn't want to admit it. Using a Linux kernel is the smartest thing anyone has done in a long long time. Decent kernel with a ton of drivers, perfect.
