Oh man! That cracked me up!. That's like some 1989 style ranting right there!
Heh, no kidding.
Most of the software people use today is open source stuff (VLC/Mozilla/MediaPortal/TSmuxer) so I am really surprised the authors tolerate with X-windows and Window's uber secret API, yet they won't even bother to port for Haiku and AmigaOS to raise interest. So sad...
See, I kind of thought the idea with open source is that
people who want a program can contribute their own time and effort to making it happen. I mean, there's nothing stopping anybody from porting Mozilla to the Amiga (besides the fact that there's no way in hell any of the newer versions would run acceptably on any Amiga that isn't just an x86 PC running AROS with a boing-ball sticker slapped on.)
