Guys, you can't just whip up an operating system and expect it to be successful based on your brand. Why is there no SonyOS, or gaming enhanced EA-OS?

What, will it just happen to be fully microsoft compatible? Or do you really feel there is no need for software?

To be a niche OS success you have to pander to a market, and do it well, like BEOS. Search is not a market, it's a portal to markets.

You think Google is going to announce its intentions of going into the OS business just after SES in Toronto? Now we'll have to go to sticky mail, because I'd bet the farm on that one.
