Ok, AROS is a rewrite of AmigaOS 3.1 (Kickstart 40.68 and up).
These are the main goals:
- Be binary compatible on Amiga (so it can plug&play replace the
original OS)
- Be source compatible on any other hardware (so Amiga software can be
ported to other hardwares with no effort)
- Provide every hardware with Amiga apps with native look and feel or,
as the user chooses, foreign hardware with Amiga look and feel.
- AROS will come in three flavours: 1) A standalone OS like Linux, Win,
etc. 2) An Amiga Emulation (ie. a window in which you have a Workbench.
Every new screen will open a new window) 3) A link-library with which you
can port Amiga apps to other OSs (eg. Windows). 1) will have Amiga l&f,
2) will have a mixture and 3) will have native l&f.
