VmwAROS 1.0.2 released!

Quick question. Why do you need to include updated drivers if this runs in a virtual environment?

[tonyyeb]

Oh I see. I didn't realise it was a distribution. I just thought (going by the name... how silly of me  :roll: ) that it was for virtual environments. Maybe a name change for the non VM version is needed?

Sorry but as has just been posted VMWAros means to me VMWare Aros. Only by reading posts by you do I now know it isn't VMWare any more... Let alone that it comes in Live! and VE versions which is even more confusing.

Instead of telling people to go read the website, why not think "Hmmm... here is someone confused by the naming of my product. Are there others who have yet to say anything like him? Maybe there is an issue?" And then investigate?

Afterall what Aros needs is more users. Your product enables people to try/use Aros very easily without much fuss. Putting potential users off with 'off the cuff' remarks and poor naming is self defeating.

He is doing a fantastic job, but i'm trying to give a bit of constructive criticism. Not slag him or his work off. Even if he has not intentions of even considering changing the name, a simple "Thanks for the comments" would have been better.

@ChaosLord

Very good point!

@paolone

But isn't that totally the point. People aren't even downloading and trying cause they are confused. Look if you intend to keep ignoring these comments then fine, that is upto you, your software, you do what you like.

The AROS appeal is limited and there must be people like us that are finding the naming confusing and are being put off. Instead of fighting the comments try to understand that there maybe a real issue here. We aren't just saying it cause we want to argue with someone. I WANT AROS and VmwAROS to succeed. I REALLY DO!

Ok, you obviously don't see a big enough need to change. That's fine as I say it is your software. Good luck with future developments. I will continue to follow how you get on.

Well put Lorraine.
