    A new OS is only interesting when it does something that has never been done before. There is no reason to choose AtheOS over any other OS right now.

    Remember the reasoning behind only having one candidate from each political "party" run for an office? If you have 3 candidates, two with agenda A, and one with agenda B, even if there are a larger number of people who vote A, there is the distinct possibility that the candiate who's for B will get elected.

    I think it's better to support one candidate in the open source OS world and not several. Yes, this new OS *is* open and might have great features that could/should make thier way into Linux, but throwing support directly at the OS eventually will make the OS a contender for developers and more importantly users that Linux would garner otherwise. Which leads to that overwhelming market share thing Microsoft has going. :)

      Yeah, that's why we're such a fucked up country with no money or power, and nobody pays attention to anything we ever say or do.
