The project, started in [[1997]], has over the years become an almost "feature complete" implementation of AmigaOS - with currently (as of March 2006) only 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.
 
While the OS is still lacking in applications, a few have been ported, including [[Unix Amiga Emulator|E-UAE]], an emulation program that allows 68k-native AmigaOS applications to run in the same way a majority must be run on AmigaOS 4.0. Some AROS-specific applications have also been written. AROS has [[TCP/IP]] networking support, and the [[AMosaic]] web browser available, among other [[Internet]]-related applications.
