I think that the Research rather than the OS part of "AROS" will be what
makes it important in the long term. People like MorphOS and those guys who
have made the emu for PC could (and maybe they are?) using what the AROS
guys have done and they'll be backports of modules and libs to PPC and x86
systems.
All the best,
