I wonder who came up with that, although I can imagine...


I know where the thought originated, with me.  But I did not say that ExecSG is based or taken from OpenVMS, only that the screenshot and data about it thus far reminded me of DEC's port of VMS to the Alpha and how they handled legacy code.  

And take that as a compliment, I like VMS.

Saying "it reminds me of VMS" is something different than what I read into it. Saying "being based on OpenVMS" smells of theft, and like I said, ExecSG is a completely new kernel.


It's also understandable how, someone repeating my original statement, could have evolved into an accusation of thievery.  After all, a similar statement from Dave Haynie resulted in the accusations against MorphOS.

@HMetal

Actually I agree with you, holding onto the data for 2 months is smarter than one.  Gives a real incentive for first-adopter personalities to jump in.  1 month people will wait for, 2 months will drive many of them nuts.
