I don't see any reason to believe what Cloanto says. I think it much more likely that their current policy of just milking the platform for nostalgia money would continue, rather than advancing the state of the OS.
I for one would certainly not continue developing AmigaOS if Cloanto was involved.
That's funny. First you say that you think Cloanto would probably just milk IP rather than advance the OS, then you say you wouldn't advance the OS for Cloanto.
Almost a self fulfilling prophecy, if it wasn't for your nobody status.
@CBH Nobody status? What is this kind of argument?
Do you know what he does and what he did in the past?
I don't really understand these kind of extremist view on things. It is okay that you love Cloanto products, go buy them, and cheer for them, and let the rest do whatever they like and think differently. How can you call another human being like that because he chose to have an opposing view?
Minuous has been a long contributor to the Amiga community in general, supporting different OSes and architectures.
And not only that, he is the person who took the daunting task of porting back ReAction from PPC to 68k, and fixed a lot of bugs down the road, and optimized it in such a way that now works on a 68000 processor. And he started doing this alone, later we all jumped in to help him in the way each of us could.
If it was not for him, AmigaOS 3.2 would not have ReAction included.
He is a truly talented developer. We are fortunate to have him working on AmigaOS.
