quote 9 Jul
First of all, nobody seems to appreciate how goddamn hard it is to make an operating system. You don’t just wake up one day and fall out of bed and make one. Not even the smarty pants kiddies at Google can do that. These things take years. Decades, even. Ours started out 20 years ago, at NeXT. You could say it goes back to 1977, with the BSD guys. Heck, you could even say it goes back to 1969 with Dennis Thompson and Lionel Ritchie. Even Windows is — what? Twenty years old? Something like that. For that matter, look at Linux. Correct me if I’m wrong — and I’m sure you fucking freetards will find something to correct — but I think Linus Tordalv started working on Linux back in 1991 when he was a high school student in his native Denmark. That’s nearly twenty years ago, and the shit still doesn’t run right. Point is, whatever Google might release in the second half of next year, it will just be a starting point. It won’t come close to what we’ve got.
