You are right.

As linux does in the Unix world...
A free BeOS (or BeOSlike...) should be the
symbol of computer programming passion.
I think we need a modern OS using OOP.
( and why not an Aspect OOP... ;-) )

Because lots of programmers want to use modern tools
instead of debugginf Unix again and again.

Instead of reinventing the Wheel...
os reusing it, why making it modern !
Why not progressing in the wheel making technology ?

Right! You won 1point ;-)

I need to learn Multithreading (with AOP in mind)
(please don't try to copy the Intel OpenMP solution,
it is so dumb to try to create a language for each 
problem !!!)

2 points !!!

And why not trying to use better things if possible ?
(for that OpenBeos need a leading team and a decision group)

1-2-3-4 & 5, aren't they fun ? :-D
