I tend to agree. However, one can only judge what Hyperion has done and if it is any good when the product is actually released. So until then, i don't like to judge and cheer that much.
However, i feel that they are the right team to tackle this job and i've got huge confidence in the programming skills of the Frieden brothers.
Once i see OS4 booting on a AOne, then i will say that they have done a lot more than Gateway, escom and others together, with a lot less cash. But that is for the moment that i see it with my own eyes.
But i support them, i have confidence in them and i can live with it being not out yet. It is a difficult and big task but i do believe that they are making a very solid and good base for further OS updates, and well thought out.
Keep believing in it, Hans jörg and Thomas. As you can see, there are still people who appreciate what you do and have respect for it. Keep that in mind, always! And be sure that people will buy it when it's out (and that goes for all new software for OS4)
