This answer just explains why you want an OpenSource OS. It does
not explain any _technical_ reason why you want to first rewrite
the OS and expand it later instead of the other way round or a
mixture.

I really wonder why it's necessary for you to discredit me as a
whiner.

P.S: Has anyone read the AROS-link I've posted?

BeOS has seen a LOT of people beeing crazy about some ideas. But
the people who really _finished_ something are sparse. Walking blindly
into a hip direction sounds exactly what Be Inc. did since 6 years. What
BeOS now needs is a *plan*. Give us a timescale. An effort estimation.
A resource list.
