2 OS suggestion

2 OS suggestion

2004-02-05 by Rui Peixoto

Hi there!
I don\ufffdt know why the 2 OS suggestion seemed to freak so many of you out 
there. I mean I\ufffdd understand if someone from elektron showed up saying that 
it is not possible due to technical reasons of some sort, and for sure we 
had to respect them. But I just can\ufffdt understand you guys. I mean, I clearly 
respect your ideas of wanting to keep the MD as it is atm, and keep your 
kits and such, BUT you should also try to respect and understand those that 
would like to see some changes in the sound, specially if they are 
relatively easy to implement. The 2 OS suggestion is really because of you 
guys feeling intimidated by an extra "switch" knob somewhere in a hidden 
menu. It\ufffdd also save memory. You guys could choose which one to d/l and 
install. But so could we.
Sorry for the rant but it all comes down to not tolerate intolerance.

It would also mean double work for the new features, double bug 
tests, double documentation (both internally at elektron and 
externally). Some would want just something from OS1 and some would 
want something from OS2. It really would mean double or more work for 
elektron. I can say for sure that double OS thing was 'dead idea' at 
the begining. Image microsoft (or apple) making different versions of 
the same program just becouse someone like their windows colored less 
blue.. huh.. It's not going to happen (and better for all of us). 
This is my opinion of matter. ;)

Toni.

Sure Toni. That was what I said. If it is for the extra work and 
possible technicle problem that may arise it is 100% understandable. 
But at the time I wrote the previous message no one from elektron had 
said that it was impossible to do. The people that were against the 
idea (it´s not a bright one I know) were the ones that were not 
interested in the change. If it is undoable let´s just forget it, but 
there are people that just can´t understand the other side of the 
story. That´s bad. 
Plus, Microsoft sucks. Elektron rules!
peace out
