CEO said, in his reply to a member on a.org, that his first idea was to support AROS and him/they thinking it would be fun. Then all hell broke loose and he seems to not be sure of that anymore, but he did not state they will change their plans just yet. That means that option is still open, if I understood what he wrote correctly.
How on earth did you come to that conclusion? I mean, it's one thing for the "CTO" to want to do something with AROS, it's another thing entirely to get the "CEO" to go along with it (and I'm sure he's the one holding the purse strings).
I get the feeling that people have short memories about what the CEO said regarding AROS.
no, no. i remember the comments well. had a right good laugh on that one. let's just say barry didn't come off well there.
the reason i think that at some point there will be some monies going to AROS devs -- and by monies i mean something on the order of contributing to open bounties -- is i think leo will convince barry to throw a few hundred at the AROS community. by being tied to something amiga-like they might get a few piddling sales out of it. i figure barry will probably do it just to make leo happy and so he can quit hearing about it.
barry's opinion of AROS is much more in line with mine than the position of the 'CTO,' but it only costs a few bucks and he'll get the rabid fandom only apple can dream of when AROS users can start talking about it being supported by commodore: 'AROS IS THE OFFICIAL AMIGA OS! OMG! OMG! THE REEL AMIGA HAS RETURND!!11!' you know, that kind of nonsense.
off-topic: by the way, many thanks for the addition of CD32 support in your recent build of RunInUAE! very much appreciated.
