From a 3.1 point of view, Cloanto's Workbench wins.
From a post-3.1 point of view, Cloanto's Workbench also wins.
And from a "the real" (read: branded with official, registered Workbench trademark), Cloanto's Workbench wins again, and it's interesting to see how Hyperion markets the their product using that trademark.
When in doubt, buy licenses from every dubious claim to IP you can?
Frankly, your repeated "Cloanto wins.." comments aren't really backed up by anything other than your opinion.
One thing is certain, only Hyperion has the only license, dubious or not, to develop new operating systems from OS 3.1.
Right now, Hyperion and Cloanto have a fairly amicable relationship, but honestly neither really has a legitimate claim to this IP as that died with the holders that went insolvent.
And Bill's claim to anything other than a trademark is laughable.
So, while I'm willing to a knowledge the recognized legal standing of the current IP holders, I don't really respect how they obtained that recognition.
And, as said before, if I need a copy of 3.1 that is less kludged up, then Hyperion's version makes more sense to me.
