   I think there is a fundamental disconnect. Most people are   
   trying to be "first to market" so that they win the market   
   share and make the most money.   
      
   But what am I going to do with money? The thing I want   
   to do is compete with MSDOS (and Freedos). How is   
   money going to help me to do that? I still haven't   
   finalized a design I am happy with to go head to head   
   with MSDOS 5.0. If I pay someone enough they're going   
   to come up with a design that I'm happy with?   
      
   I can't be happy with someone else's design until I   
   understand what the issues are. It is only a few   
   minutes ago that I realized that all drivers could   
   potentially go on the other side of this equation, not   
   just disk drives and serial ports.
