I'm probably one the few is who is not remotely excited by this news. I've always put this guy in the "big on charisma, big on promises, empty on delivery" category. IIRC, he is the one who said Amiga Inc (as they were then) would deliver a new OS written from scratch (but based a Linux kernel) inside five months, when they hadn't even decided what hardware it was supposed to run on.
I also remember being flamed to the ground by the religious zealots who thought I was the personification of evil for casting doubt on their god's promises. No doubt history will repeat itself... :-P
