Looks great from the front; bit inelegant around the back, but still, pretty damn 'leet. Sadly none of the ARM power management works with RISC OS at the moment - but it did once, on the fairly obscure Acorn A4 laptop Archimedes, so the code is in the tree somewhere, presumably, and efforts are afoot to revive it. RISC OS also had a JVM back in the day, and one of those would significantly increase its appeal today. Compared to Linux on low-end modern ARM hardware, RISC OS looks pretty amazing. OK, so, no true memory protection, no multiuser support, no pre-emptive multitasking (although there is a patch for this out there, but it breaks a lot of compatibility), no virtual memory, etc., but it's fast as hell and does a surprisingly large amount of all you might want. I know a number of people for whom it's still their main OS today. -- Liam Proven ? Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lproven at cix.co.uk ?
