ThatKidYouDid writes "Wired.com is holding a vote for this years best vaporware. My vote definitely goes to the oqo, although I'd still snag one if they ever materialized. What do others really wish could have happened by Xmas?"

    ..War Mongers? You mean as opposed to the sit-on-your-hands-and-watch-6-million-Jews-get-sla ughtered-peachniks?

    I guess as long as you're not getting led to the gas chanber there isn't any reason.

    Unless you're a "political enemy" of Saddam, Jewish, or a Kurd, I guess it's war mongering.

    How about the Mono Project. And while we're at it why not add Gnome too. And the thousands of other gnuware programs on sourceforge that are still on version 0.0.1!

    Drool on, pad're ... '...ohpeace ... ohearth ... ohgoodwill ...blablabla ...' go eat a twinkee or something. Hate, greed and vengence are hardwired into the human reptile brain like Pammy Andersons tits. If the US kicks azz hard & fast better that than having its own kicked like the Muzzis slap-around the Euro-bleaters. So drool on pad're then shut-up and go away.

    I have a thing a against stupid people. Pardon me for having a "thing" against you, but items on vaporware lists fit into a category of things best described as "if you don't know, you won't care".

    See, one of the key elements of vaporware is that people have to know about its development/planning for a long time. And if I tell you of a product that I have been waiting for, and that hasn't been released, it won't mean the same thing to you because you just heard about it.
