I discovered something -- I am stuffing in everything on the only table I have. computer, files, books, etc... so if I take a book to read on this tabe, I'm tempted to browse/play-games on the computer because the computer is on the same table too. One day, I took the book to a coffee shop and started reading.. and I enjoyed it. I think I need to buy one more table ('reading table') - Sridhar Ratnakumar

"From a comment: -- There is nothing amazing about these OSes. They all follow the tired Win95 model and offer nothing new except some eye candy. Ooh look this one goes to 11! - Take a look at Plan9. - Take a look at OpenAugment. - Take a look at Minix3. - Take a look at Squeak. - Take a look at a ZUI, Zoomable User Interface. - Take a look at Croquet. There are many ideas that have not been implemented in trad OSes. With the coming multi CPU systems it would be a disaster if Unix/Windows was to prevail. With the coming display technologies the old fashioned GUI built from WIMP is history. I hope people understand that a GUI is not an OS and should not be part of an OS. The idea that disk will be used to as anything other than persistence is old and limiting. Your data and applications will not be separable. An application will not be opened to use a file but rather the file will always be ready for use. In short Von Neuman is old hat and a new way of looking at machines is coming." - Sridhar Ratnakumar

"Ask Jeff to maintain an *ugly* code base with beautiful algorithms, beautiful architecture and a beautiful idea behind it. I'm sure he won't. He'd rather prefer to work on a new project. As for code beauty, one must read SICP to realize how abstractions contribute to the beauty of programs." - Sridhar Ratnakumar
