Castle director and Tematic boss Peter Wild has said RISC OS must become open source to compete in modern markets. ""Make [RISC OS] open source and encourage users to contribute to it, use it and drive its ongoing development. This is the only scenario I can see in which the solution might prosper short of someone investing a few million quid to fund further development."

No it didn't. There was a pre-emptive multitasking extension, but it was a dirty hack on top of the window manager. RISC OS is still a co-operative multitasking microcomputer operating system, even though it was running on workstation-level hardware when first introduced.

Well, it is a pity, it doesn't have, but even co-operative multitasking is good if the OS works fine.
This however ties all system with more limits of usage.
