I take it lots of poeple are objecting to the fact this is an 'all positive article'. I don't know, but I've seen plenty of blatant cheerleading articles on /. before, so maybe some more specific critism should be in order. What exactly do people not like about RtP? -That it isn't completely OS? If that's a sticking point, then it's likely to remain one, because RtP won't go completely OS. -That is doesn't yet have a huge feature set (drag and drop, DVD, etc?). Given that this is a pre-release verson, who expects those things? It's come very far in a short amount of time, and has some stuff that more mature OSs like Linux don't. I for one have downloaded RtP for desktop use, and it's fast, responsive, and has a decent amount of features for a pre-release version. The included development system is, IMO, fantastic, especially the documentation. I keep seeing comparisons to Be, which I don't think are completely off the mark, except for one major difference: QNX has a proven track record and is attracting developers. Be isn't. Turns out, that's a pretty big difference
