The project, begun in 1995, has over the years become an almost "feature complete" implementation of AmigaOS{{snd}} withwhich, currently (as of May 2017),{{update needed|date=September 2021}} only lacks a few lacking areas of functionality. This was achieved by the efforts of a small team of developers.
It can currently be installed on most [[IBM PC compatible]]s, and features native graphics drivers for video cards such as the [[GeForce]] range made by [[Nvidia]]. As of May 2007 USB keyboards and mice are also supported. AROS has been ported to the [[Sam440ep]] [[PowerPC]] board and a first test version for the [[Efika]] was released in 2009.
While the OS is still lacking in applications, a few have been ported, including [[Unix Amiga Emulator|E-UAE]], an emulation program that allows m68k-native AmigaOS applications to run. Some AROS-specific applications have also been written. AROS has [[TCP/IP]] networking support, and has available an experimental version of [[AMosaic]] web browser, for test purposes, among other Internet-related applications. The Poseidon [[USB]] stack has been ported to AROS.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.osnews.com/story/21548/Poseidon_USB_Stack_Bounty_Reached_Open_Source_AROS_Port |title=Poseidon USB Stack Bounty Reached: Open Source, AROS Port |website=OSNews |access-date=September 7, 2010}}</ref>
A workable AmigaOS [[Kickstart (Amiga)|Kickstart]] clone for the [[Motorola 68000]] processor was released on March 31, 2011 as part of a [[open source bounty|programming bounty]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.amiga.org/forums/printthread.php?t=55226 |work=amiga.org |title=Kickstart ROM Replacement (Phase II) Assigned |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101206191839/http://www.amiga.org/forums/printthread.php?t=55226 |archive-date=December 6, 2010 |access-date=April 7, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.power2people.org/projects/profile/6 |work=power2people.org |title=Kickstart ROM Replacement (Phase II)}}</ref> The memory requirement is 2 MB [[Amiga Chip RAM|Chip RAM]] and 1 MB Fast RAM. This software is a complete free open-source alternative to AmigaOS.
