Workbench 5.0??

Is my avatar (which represent by the way crest of my town, comes from historically agricultural and religious backgrounds) is in some kind of conflict with your "mutated big-o-teeth rodent" avatar?

Ok. it's a church boat and crossed flails. Hope you are now much more happier person.

Not to nitpick, but rabbits are not rodents. Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha.
But I gotta admit the fangs are kinda creepy.  

Say, since CUSA is actually building something (or will be) you guys sound kinda pissy.

I'm not pissy. Will be interesting to see. Just like webkit has moved into being the best option for browsers, so to *nix will also be the best option for operating systems. Windows days are numbered.

As it stands now, Apple is the only company to use a *nix operating system specifically designed for their computers. There are Linux distros though they are meant for a wide variety. CUSA seem to want to focus on it running smoothly on their hardware. If it comes in cheaper than the Apple stuff then they just might be onto something there.

You might want to do a little research on the NT kernel. All non-MS-Dos based versions of Windows are based on it. Its not too far removed from Unix.

Personally I'm hoping an open source OS like Linux (or something based on it) wins out. Looking at the sucess of Android based devices, this just might happen.
