  1. Re:Legal problems with redistributable DLLs on The Open Windows Project · · Score: 1

    WinE has the support for all of those dlls built in, so we will have o-s versions of those. also, we are not ignorant enough to believe we could ever get anywhere near 100% (100% is thinking positively, something a lot of slashdotters seemingly forgot how to do), but hopefully we can get as close as possible (99.99%).

  2. OWP Manifesto on The Open Windows Project · · Score: 1

    well, basically, if you don't agree with the manifesto, you won't be let in. the deal here is that while the manifesto can change, all changes will be submitted to developers, and these changes will only be made on a majority vote. read the manifesto a little more carefully next time. if a developer violates the rules of the manifesto, they, and their contributions are thrown out, so there aren't any problems later. it would really take a lot, and a majority vote, to remove any developer anyway, it is in there just in case. that was the originally intention. thank you for your support.

  3. Re:Hoax on The Open Windows Project · · Score: 1

    first off, let me say this, yes i am 17 years old, and i'm sorry, but i don't watch pokemon. i came up with the idea for owp, and no i wasn't drunk/stoned whatever. i thought i was a good idea, and apprently a lot of others do too. owp is _not_ a hoax, and there are many people of different ages working on this project who can't believe the kind of comments the hypocritical linux community puts out. also, i am not the kernel coordinator, so get your facts straight. it makes me sad to think that the community that spawned gnu and linux can be so down on us, but it really doesn't matter, because if we do succeed you guys will eat a large amount of crow. owp is not targetted just towards power users, which is apparently what most of you slashdotters think, it will be targetted for home users, the "real" _users_ who use ms works, aol and windows 98. windows nt is not for home users/general public anyway, so i don't know what microsoft thinks it is trying to do with whistler or win2k. you can get over it, because we are here to stay. by the way, my developers range in ages from 15 to 40 and are from more than 5 different countries, just to let you know. i am sorry to target you in this way, but i just felt that your comment went below the belt; i mean how old was bill gates when he founded microsoft? thank you for your comments and your continuing support.
