RiscOS no no no no

Why why why? Come on, it's all but dead. Let it be. It's a OS of it's era and machine class. But now all machines can run OSs that is mainframe in features. I want pre-emptive multitasking, I want proper virtual memory, including safe per process address space, different login privileges, hell, different logins! Drive numbers are no better then drive letters, I want mounts and sym links. Applications folders where nice, but package management is better. I use to love RiscOS, and I look back at it with fond memories, but I wouldn't want it back. Even Acorn won't 100% behind RiscOS, remember RiscBSD? Come on man, leave RiscOS in RPCEmu, it's over. But ARM lives on strong. Maybe use Rox Desktop if you're really desperate. It's the desktop most people loved anyway. Much better take a real OS and make it into a desktop one, then take one made for a limited desktop machine and try and make it a real OS. (Windows is my example, but that's a rant in itself.)
