I wonder if this will kill any further development of AVD, and any Other OS4 projects jamie was involved in?

I hope that isn't the brother of Freddie Krueger. Then again, if Amiga employed Freddie Krueger, they might go from rags to riches and keep coming back from the dead.

@amitv

Oh, great. Now AVD (for OS4 atleast) is definately dead. That was money well spent

Which "team" are they talking about?

@amitv

Interesting.

I really like Jamie Krueger, but I'm not sure how I feel about this news. I can only hope it works out well for him, but so few things in Amigaland ever do.

Does this mean that some version of AVD may become the official Ami Inc developement tool? I can see how that would be a big plus for them.

@amitv

I feel sorry for Jamie... he loves AmigaOS and is a very nice person but I'm afraid he may get screwed by Amiga Inc.

I hope he gets paid for his work and also I wish him the best

Good luck Jamie!

@amitv et al.,

Most of the posts I have read have said something to the effect of "Amiga Inc. has hired Mr. Krueger in an attempt to hinder or cease OS4 development." I would like to offer another hypothesis. Amiga may be expecting a favorable outcome of the trial. If Amiga Inc. do not really have OS5 under development, and they are able to wrestle the source code and rights from Hyperion, then they may bundle AA2 with OS4 calling it OS5. If that ends up being the case, they will want people like Mr. Krueger to foster development for their newly acquired/stolen OS.

I'm not sure what to think of this, but we know that Jamie Krueger can code, and has some nice ideas for an IDE. It's a pity that he couldn't work on AVD full-time all the way to completion.

It still doesn't give us any clue what Amiga Inc.'s plans are, or what they're up to.

That's...bizarre.

While I feel sort of suckered for paying the initial full price of AVD, and getting nothing really usable out of it, my impressions of Jamie are he's a bright and decent guy, which certainly makes me wonder why he'd go to work for AI.

He also, AFAIK, became and OS4 beta-tester, so was presumably on at least relatively good terms with the Freidens and other OS4 devs, which makes this a bit more surprising.

I can only guess that either McEwen 'convinced' him his work at AI will have nothing to do with OS4, that AI will win the case, or....? I really don't know what would convince Jamie to work for AI - I doubt he's oblivious to their past issues with paying people, etc...

I guess we can only hope he doesn't become another unpaid employee, and see where this goes..weird.

@amitv

I think this is very positive.

Seems Amiga Inc wants to hire folks with OS4 knowledge, guess they feel confident about the outcome of the court case.
I hoped Hyperion would win but honestly I don't care anymore as long as we get it over with and the winner shows interest in taking OS4 further.

Hopefully Jamie will get to finish the great project he started, this time on Amiga Inc's expense:)

I must say that your thread title "Amiga inc Hires Jamie Krueger" does not reflect the words carefully chosen for the announcement.
"announced today that it has added Jamie Krueger to its development team."

I don't see any mention of being hired for pay, which "hires" implies.

Hmmm... I wonder if Jamie will bring over his AVD innovations over to AA2? Will he be creating developer tools for AA2 (aka OS5) perhaps??

well, hopefully fran dramis and jamie krueger can help make a difference.

i dont care whether they focus on OS4 or AA2 at this point. i just want them to focus on something and stick with it. OS4 not running on x86 is probably out of my reach anyway with ppc cards being expensive.

geez they need to fork out a little bit of money for a better website. its pretty lame, if they have new investors it should be updated, potential developers/customers see that? not good.
and its not like its such a major expense either. its what? a few thousand bucks to pay for a pro looking site?

@all

Hello everyone, I have just posted the following on my website
and thought I should post it here as well:

"Today Amiga Inc. publicly announced my decision to officially join forces with them,
and come on board as a full time employee. I am confident that working directly with
Amiga, and helping to reach our mutual goals, is the best way I can support the Amiga
Community at this time.

I know there are questions and concerns about how this impacts the AVD and FreeAVD
project. Please let me assure you that if I did not believe this to be a positive move toward
the completion and delivery of AVD, I would not have made it. Equally, if for any reason
completed software can NOT be delivered to anyone who has already made an advance
purchase, I will personally see that 100% of all collected funds are returned in full.
This project has always been open, honest, and above board; with the sole aim of helping
to bring more developers, and hence more software, to the Amiga platform.

I foresee great things for the future of the Amiga platform, and as always I greatly
appreciate your support."

Best Regards,

Jamie Krueger

It might be, but this is old news...This might no longer be the case now that they are spending much time argueing against Hyperion Entertainment during the trial case..
