Ok, I’m probably coming with the latest, in the sense that it got to me with the greatest delay, news here but:
Holy smokes!! They’re re-implementing Windows!
My first reaction was “yuck!”, but if you think GNU/Linux is a reimplementation of the proprietary Unix OS, it doesn’t sound too absurd in the end.
Well, maybe except for that big “WHY?!”. I mean, wasn’t Unix cloned only because there wasn’t any other free OS around at the time? Hm.. well, that would extend the “WHY?!” to other free OSs that came after Linux, so… Ok, I’m still having a hard time coping with this idea of pulverizing the limited resources we have into many little different projects not being a spread-out-and-die (divide-and-conquer without a conqueror?) stragegy, but I’m sure there must be legitimate reasons (maximize patent infrigement?).

We don’t have a conqueror, but do have a konqueror. It ought to be enough.

The project idealizer is Alex Ionescu, who i thought i was going to see a presentation on FISL 8 (but he didn’t show up)! I think that one of the main goals is too improve the Reverse Engineering scenario, since Ionescu’s post several on his new researches into Reverse Engineering sites, take a look at his blog (he also did break some of vista’s signature scheme)
