Noone is laughing at the specs of Troika's board, we're laughing bout the state of development (which is in complete contrast to the spin Troika and their fans want to put on).

No I don't think EFIKA is perfect for OS4-desktop use, but it's still better than anything else available for OS4 (not so har if "anything else" is nada zilch¬hing).

How many of these hits are just people who can't believe it ain't dead yet ? How many just like watching a good soap-opera ?

Want realistic numbers ? Look at the numbers for OS3.5/9, and than remember it's been a 7 year decline since then.

@Atheist

OEM-deals are allmost allways done at a price-level way lower than retail, and $4.50 for a product that will probraly sell in the 10th of million over the next years (either that or it flops in a dramatic way) doesn't sound so bad. Actually IF Sony licences an outofhouse-OS it's more likely to be a big chunk upfront and some ct (yes some ct) per unit.

The idea that Sony would pay 0.5 billion $ (50$ per unit and 10,000,000 units) is just to insane, even for you.

But more important, there is NO hardware that needs OS4 (maybe except of few garage-incs), but OS$ surely needs HW. Thats something which needs to sink deep into the brains of those responsible before OS4 even has a change to become a "serious" OS.
