While I don't like the A1, same as I did not like the Teron when I messed with it way back when, can't deny that it arrived on the market.

Let's be fair, it *could* still not have arrived by the end of 2004.  It *could* be a limited beta at that point.

Face it, developing an OS is not an easy task.  Add in the fact that none of the developers on OS4 have any OS experience, and the task is even more challenging.  4-5 years is fairly normal on OS development.

I stand corrected then.

Then would you agree or not that OS development is best measured in terms of years rather than months?

@Rogue

Neither did the Chicago team (you know, Windows 4.0/95?) yet it took them close to 5 years to deliver their update.

@Rogue

If you've admitted that he was right and you were wrong, how about you do something unprecedented in the history of this gigantic flamewar?

Appologize to him directly.
