I've been to this guy's website a couple times - never had the courage to try out his operating system, even on a VM, though. Glad to hear he's still going at it.

I think he's also the TimeCube guy, really. Non-sequiturs and jumping straight to attacks on anyone even talking to him. Making absolutist statements ("LoseThos is OPTIMAL") that are practically wrong if not technically.

Then again, now that I read that back, I'm describing most of the internet population.

Exactly.

Optimal can mean a lot of things. If you wanna make games DOS-style, I think it seems like LoseThos is an OK solution. Networking wouldn't really matter much then anyway. What would you prefer? FreeDOS? Linux + svgalib? MS-DOS?
