When I first saw this screen shot I thought it was just a mock-up. I'm sure many people thought the same. But this is not a mock-up, this is the real thing! I repeat, this is NOT a fake!

Darius Brewka has worked hard on this and achieved fantastic results. He tells me this is a special AROS kernel. He said he has discovered some issues that need to be resolved before he can officially release it. He recently told me he still needs to fix some issues, but has been fixing some Zune parts like scrollers to make them more stylish. I don't know about you, but I cannot wait for Darius to complete this so we can all have totally wicked AROS desktops!

M0ns00n has forked AiRcOS to streamline it more for irc. This will leave the current AiRcOS alone to go in whatever direction Kalamatee had envisioned. M0ns00n calls this new fork ARIRC. He has been working with the GUI and has been testing it almost everyday
in the #aros channel on irc.freenode.net. This will be a very nice application when it is a little further along. It has a lot of potential and will really be useful. I plan to use it myself.
