OrangeOS 2009 release imminent

I am still working out a few glitches, but OrangeOS 2009 should be out either tomorrow or the next day. Here is a list of most of the new features:

- Most apps have been renamed, ditching the "O" prefix
- Added an Instant Messenger, Address Book, Calendar, To-do list, and more
- Completely rewritten web browser
- Completely rewritten mail program
- Completely rewritten Settings app
- Completely rewritten media player
- Completely rewritten news app
- Completely rewritten Antivirus app
- More wallpapers
- Redesigned taskbar
- Redesigned program menu
- New boot/login screen
- Media player has new songs
- The clock still says "4:41 PM"
- OrangePeel (photo manager), and OrangeWire (Limewire spoof) have been temporarily removed. I will improve them and include them with OrangeOS 4.
- The word processor still sucks, but it now has an office assistant
- You can now click on and read the messages in the mail app
- Parental Controls app (You're doomed, kids  wink  )
- Much more!!
