    I think I'm going to write my own operating system that runs under Windows so I can have polls about it on AppleInsider too.

    No offence pumpkintosh, but that does sound a bit rude. I come here to share my work, and you insult it. What's your reasoning? I would not insult your work, no matter how bad it was. I would tell you where you went wrong, ect. It's called constructive critisism, I believe I deserve at least that amount of respect. Thank you, and no hard feelings!



    P.S: Neo OS build 1.0.2 was very bad. There is a picture. Again, copy and paste the text into your address bar:

    Okay, I will be honest. The reason I am building this Operating System is because I cannot stand OS X. OS X needs to be whiped from the face of the earth(and all your hard disks). What we are creating at Bettafish Inc is a revolutionary new File System called Red Globe. RG is the way to the future of computing, simply because it supports multiplatform operation. Do not judge me from the other posts at MacNN, they dont appreciate me and my work, and I know you fine people will. I can tell by your attitudes that your way better people. And I trust you all to support me in my cause to bring down OS X, and globalize Neo OS.

    You cannot stand people who have critisism on your work, except when it's 'constructive critisism' (i.e. applaud your work) ?

    You cannot stand people who insult your work, after you yourself insulted OSX as something that 'had to be wiped of the earth' ?

    You cannot stand OSX because it's (a lot) better ?



    And you try to find some sympathy here for your 'work' ? You must be the worst PR in the Solar system.
