  It took almost a whole year, but the first point-release of VmwAROS has finally seen the light! This new release includes many demanded and anticipated features like support for 68K applications trough AmiBridge, multiple archive types decompression, PDF reading support, Ken Lester's iconset and many, many improvements over standard AROS nightly builds. VmwAROS provides the best AROS experience to everyone interested in using it. Former AmigaOS users can use their applications until an AROS one will be ported or re-created from scratch, AROS users can enjoy a completely pre-configured desktop and developers will find a complete development chain waiting for them, which includes Murks!IDE and a whole set of examples, languages, compilers, libraries and interpreters. People coming from other operating systems will find a smart, not-invasive, niche environment they can help improving too. As usual, VmwAROS comes in two versions: Live! and VE. Live! provides a bootable DVD which can be launched and installed on real hardware and, for the first time, it includes also a Qemu based virtual machine for safer (but slower) testing. VE is the same environment, but already installed on a VMware virtual machine. For any further information, screenshots and download links, just contact VmwAROS official website at www.vmwaros.org.
