Here's an idea: don't announce vaporware. Wait until your product is in reasonable shape, say beta. Then you still have months to hype it and have a reasonable chance to live up to the expectations with the release. Magic, isn't it?
That's all besides the point. Microsoft claim right and left that it does innovate. Argues at court that such and such would stop them from innovating, and so on. It's all lie, that's what we point out here.
Even if the technology was not there in '94, Go was a company comitted to develop it. May or may not they would suceeded with it by let's say '96, if they had the chance. Instead, I think something like this happened:
1, Go starts do develop the technology. 2, Need money, so make publicity, attract investors. 3, MS smells competition, announces similar product 4, investors think: why should I invest in Go, when MS will soon have the same product (competing with MS never good!), which (according to MS) will be as good as or better, run on windows, thus instantly have all win application, integrated, etc, you know the MS drill about a new product. 5, Without money, Go folds. 6, MS suddenly realizes that the handwriting is not so hot. 7, The handwriting development stops for years, the world is set back in this field by about 5 years.
MS did something illegal? Will be hard to prove. But they were well avare that anything they say, people listen, and abused their position.
It didn't became financially unsustainable after the change, it was it well before. In fact, it was a major part of the countries failing economy, and this failing economy was the underlaying cause of the collapse of the soviet systems.
In this case, if you one of the guys promoting, then simply point it out that the kernel is a just a kernel, and it goes through a number of filters before it reaches the users of the distributions.
The changelog _is_ available. It's just not in one piece. You might as well complain about the lack of changelog file 2.2.21-2.6.12. If you can understand a single word from the changelog, you must be already intimitely close to the linux development, who knows whats going on. So you probably don't even know what's inside in a changelog like this.

No, the other way around.
then you have no excuse :)
the linux version has --no-splash, I would guess the OSX has too.

Szo
fast user switching? Have you ever seen a linux workstation with virtual terminals?

and it run's on..? hmm... windows. Only.

Then it's going to take about a 100 times more than longhorn...

if you make links that contain '\'-s. IE will convert them to '/'-s and the webserver will convert the links to 404.
Szo
and then you would die a few hours later. Big gain :)
