A quick mail on that thread from me.. meant as a one-shot thing and all, won't add up afterwards: >I certainly think the announcement is interesting.

It's not coincidence that NewOS is taking so long withing OpenBeOS: that's where much much of the value (and the difficult stuff) lies, which might explain why some people just give up on making a good kernel and adopt the linux one, or to the cotnrary do recognize the value of a good kernel_intel-like kernel and beg for one/bug the devs for one/moan for higher speed ..etc :-) Whereas the "competing" (well..) projects are increasingly narrowing the gap, in somem way, for the high levels code layers, no one will come close if we have a BeOS-like kernel land layer, or if we even have better. (looks like it will be even better). OBOS is still da one. -- http://cdegea.free.fr/ | BeDev E-16870 "What's oil got to do, got to do with it" -- F02 Chorus
