Amiga Research Operating System (AROS) is an open source implementation of the AmigaOS 3.1 APIs. Designed to be portable and flexible, ports are currently available for x86 and PowerPC based PCs in native and hosted flavours, with other architectures in development.

Current status

The project, started in 1997, and has over the years become an almost "feature complete" implentation of AmigaOS - with currently (as of march 2006) only a few lacking areas of functionality. All this has been achieved by the great efforts of a small team of developers.

While the OS is still lacking in applications, a few have been ported, including EUAE, an emulation program that allows 68k-native applications to run in the same way such legacy programs are run on AmigaOS 4.0 and a few AROS specific ones written - which has also inspired a slowly forming user base at www.aros-exec.org.
