Enough Chrome already!

For two days the Lounge has been nothing but Chrome this and Chrome that. Chrome is not going to be the "Web OS" of the future, because I am already working on it[^]! Take that suckers! ;P
Imagine that you are hired to build a bridge over a river which gets slightly wider every day; sometimes it shrinks but nobody can predict when. Your client provides no concrete or steel, only timber and cut stone (but they won't tell you what kind). The coefficient of gravity changes randomly from hour to hour, as does the viscosity of air. Your only tools are a hacksaw, a chainsaw, a rubber mallet, and a length of rope. Welcome to my world. -Me explaining my job to an engineer

And I am a big supporter of open source since we run 50% Windows and 50% Linux here and my work technically is supposed to be open source since it is paid by government research dollars. With that said if there was a Linux version of Chrome I may have jumped into several of these discussions. ;P

To be fair though, that $20-$100 OS has been brought up a fair number of times, so it's not exactly a new topic of conversation is it? ;P

There was a post the other day of some guy wanting to pay $20-100 for someone to write him a complete, secure OS, that had Windows XP-like features but not a rewrite of XP.

:laugh: I would say that was soothing but I had to stop that because my speakers were on too loud and I did not want to annoy the coworkers. At least my office door was closed.

Doubtful. The potential coder should just write it himself and sell each copy for $100 - much more worth it. Regards, --Perspx
