AI does not posess (sp?) the technical knowledge on how to develop a operating system. Thats why they hired the Frieden brothers to code OS4. Nobody knows what the company is worth and you cant buy shares in AI, its not public.
They arent using the patents because they cannot make their own hardware or design it. Again, lack of expertise. IMO I think they are milking the Amiga name for all they can. If you look at their software, its really cheap (in quality). There isnt a decent game sold by them thats actually worth buying.
I'm not going to waste my time on AI's broken promises...too much to type..
