That OpenBeOS in some way has to be targetted too in order
to survive or even make a remotely noticeable impact. There
just aren't enough qualified people willing to dedicate
sufficient resources so that all possible "areas" are
covered, but then again, OpenBeOS has always been about
the technological aspects of BeOS, not the commercial,
strategic or even psychological aspects, implicatons or
realities that naturally come with it. Unfortunately, those
-as we all know by looking at Windows and Linux- weigh a lot
heavier than just having the most sophisticated technology.
Add to that the fact that the world isn't standing still or
waiting for another OS to emerge, and you will appreciate
that you got to focus (target) your efforts in order to be
successful - if that is one of the goals of OpenBeOS, that
is (and I'd like feedback and receive enlightenment on that,
if possible).
