i've been looking at ff2 and i couldn't find anything new. every single feature stated as new was already present in 1.5 using extensions like antiphishing, feeds, etc.
it seems more like the extensions went into the core. but, do we want a huge monolithic core with lots of features or a smaller one wich i customize with extensions according to my needs?? my veredict: i'll stay with 1.5 for a while!
yeah, right, making the source code makes software a lot more insecure and vulnerable to attacks, like linux, freebsd, etc.
we should start thinking about a campaign to make windows free software and open source. we should put the code in a public cvs or subversion server and start making a better and safer os out of it.
there is the example of transport tycoon, a great game written in the mid '90s. the developer didn't want to update it any further or add any new features. a group of enthusiasts created openttd (www.openttd.org), which is opensource, based on the original- and much better than the original.

i've just bought an 939 for my bro. he will kill me when he knows it will be obsolete in a no-time. platforms should last longer...

let's bet how long does it take... my bet: in 6 months we will have it running.
