Surpassing N.AES

This is does not seem to be of encyclopedic tone to me.

This header may sound arrogant, but it may be relevant to state this anyway. Odd Skancke has been putting a lot of effort into XaAES the last year, and the results are easy to spot. At the time of writing this we have reached December 2005, and XaAES is being equipped with features not seen in N.AES, and in some cases not in any other Atari AES. Sure, there are still some occasions, when some would suggest that N.AES has advantages over XaAES, but in real life XaAES now offers (very high) compatibility as well as speed. And N.AES never offered the background textures in AES elements! Add to this the new keyboard navigation scheme, allowing any application that makes proper use of form_button() and form_keyboard() to be controlled via the keyboard. Even the GEM menubar can be navigated via the keyboard, making the system even more user friendly. The built-in support for WDIALOG functions (originally introduced with MagiC, see above) is nearing completion, and now even applications, that use the pdlg_xx() routines for printing support, may be able to work properly at last. XaAES is without a doubt setting new standards, and the Atari community now has access to a modern AES, that is both fast, free and stable.

Back in 1993 Atari brought us MultiTOS in form of MiNT 1.0 + AES 4.0, but today you probably want to upgrade to FreeMiNT + XaAES.

it looks to me like this entire page is taken from http://xaaes.gokmase.com/history.php?xaaes=history, but i don't know how to deal with this and i'm too tired to anyways. Torzod (talk) 17:43, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
