I was going to write something here, but it's another one of those same old threads, same old arguments, same old retorts.  Can we just not bother for a change?

Oh c'mon mikeymike, CLEARLY a positive comment about OS4, though maybe naive in nature, deserves a *thorough* trouncing!!  I mean, everybody KNOWS that OS4 is going to fall flat on its face.  But MorphOS?  Now, THERE is an OS with REAL POTENTIAL and its going to SUCCEED and make $$$ and make Bill Buck the next Bill Gates and build a space-station in the year 2008 and cure cancer and travel back in time to discover how pyramids were built.  

This is getting old.  

To those of you who calmly explained sound business ideals and realistic expectations to the thread originator, I applaud you.  To those of you who took it upon yourselves to flame away needlessly (because you KNOW redrumloa isn't going to moderate on a OS4 bashing thread) I give you the bronx cheer and icy glares in your general direction.

pfeh...   :madashell:

Pegasos/morphOS is mediocre and expensive. The operating system is primitive and most likely relatively unstable, and the software base is non-existent. There is nothing innovative or exciting about any of it, except for the fanatics.

But the real reason it has no chance of getting anywhere is that it is based on the needs of people with a tenuous grip on reality. Those who cannot understand the real markets cannot produce what those markets require.

Thinking *is* important.  And so is objectivity.  The point of the plagiarism was to show that the latter quality is lacking concerning a great many people here, not necessarily you.  It seems to run rampant with certain individuals here.

Mikeymike:  I apologize for blatantly leading you on that one, but it *is* demonstrative of attitude around here lately.  Slagging is only slagging if you happen to be on the side of the slaggin.
