But it only got so much attention lately because the greedy corps no longer want to pay the OS developers and the good ones are getting scarce and more expensive as our population getting more and more dumb....  The CEOs can get bigger benefits just stealing the FOSS stuff which is VERY buggy but they can get away with it unless people get killed (e.g. put Linux into cockpits or nuclear silos).  The end of World is night.

LOL!  http://ow.ly/T6qV30gC05B

>  Unixes cannot compare to VMS...  Only if someone writes completely new OS from scratch but all attempts so far failed due to the degenerating human intellect (only muslims are reproducing while the intelligent white cold climate adapted race heading for extinction)...  We are only recycling over and over the old things developed decades ago for very poor hardware power which cannot compare to todays chips.

Sounds good.  BeOS: 20+ years later and it's still single-user.  Linux
is wasted on droids.
