BreakawayOS - The OS of 2009 (Or so I've been told). Please try.

(link to project)

If you could take some time out of your day to try this 3-month long project (1 month's amount of work), it would make me rather happy. I mean, I tried my best on this project, and I don't want this effort to go to waste. If you could please try this, it would be good.

Some info on the project: It has a painter, a password service, but not much. It was after my last 7 attempts at this. I will stick with this project, though.

What I will add: A music player, file explorer, a web browser, and an internet service.

And I might be able to add some popular youtube vids in there ^^.

If you could give me some feedback on it, that would be great!

What makes it the OS of 2009? Who told you? I've been working on something for 2 years straight and it doesn't receive a lot of attention, yet 2 minute stupid projects get like 1000 views. It's irritating.

I think he thinks his OS is the best of 2009, or the only one. So I'll list some of what I, and the community thinks as the best OS in 2009:

SangleOS by GreatDane
SynOS by 08jackt
technOS by Dom818

and last but not least,
Xenotype by myself(fg123)

Note that I did not put Xenotype at the top of my list.

Personally, I have never found much point to OS's.  People make something that looks like a computer, it has three programs or less, and everyone's like "Wowee!  That's so cool!"  But what they missed is we need something NEW. every OS I've seen has the following (or less):
Word Processor
Paint
Breakout
Choose Your Background
Choose your password/username

And that's IT.  Why has no one made any new programs on an OS?  AND no one has made their own version of the paper-clip guy.  I know I'm just blowin' hot steam, and its not directed really at any specific OS.  But I needed to say something.  If anyone has an OS with something more, please send me a link.


I'm back, and showcasing two new* projects!  Click left or right on the image below to see!

I've been trying to get a small helicopter game on a OS.

How come everyone spells it as "GreatDane"? It's just "Greatdane" or "greatdane".

It's easier. When two words are combined, I thing:
GreatDane looks better than Greatdane
IHaveAMac looks better than Ihavaamac.

Right! I would add it, but it's not a full OS yet...  sad 

Oh, IZ OS isn't one either. Sorry. Remove that from my quote please.
