I never stop being amazed on how right Freud was with his projection idea-theory <Loosely defined standards from committees steered by their own drunken lust for power and market share is.> I can just envision all the operators and all the manufacturers of the world, even little newly signed and arrived QCOM, partying within ITU, "steered by their own drunken lust for power and market share" in one united, singlebrained, majority shareholder value blob. Seems like that "loosely defined" also has been deeply embedded in the part of the brain reserved for private fear, keeps popping up when in a general state of fear. With that background, an even more closed hood would maybe be better. ARM is an interesting hardware architecture and platform concept, not like the different variations on the 286 (lets skip the 186), not even like the 8031. What is you guess on the future winner in terms of dowloading, MMSing porn?? Linux actually handles multitasking, both server tasks and downloading porn while playing a game, doing an spreadsheet, indexing a database, playing some music and a backup in the background. One can even mount and demount devices. Ilmarinen All the stuff OS2 was supposed to do, but somebody did something with it, or actually didn't do their part. Also interesting how cheap stable operating systems have become, all this "open" stuff. (however, basically unstable ones are expensive, must be kind of fixed and improved all the time, and unluckily "thread" has become a dirty word, threadlocks and all)
