that was an extreamly long and boring read. They say this is the biggest project everdone with 50+million lines of code. Who the hell does it take to write an OS that needs 50+million lines of code. And the fucking compile time is horrible912 hours) You will most definately never see this near any machine i own.

50 million lines of code + 5000 developers=What a mess!
How many lines of code does Linux have though? Isn't it susposed to be pretty massive as well?
slave:
KDE 3.1 has 2.6 million lines of code. The Linux kernel has about 1.5 million lines of code in it. A whole linux distribution probably has 100+ million lines of code.
Pantso:
When it comes to OSes (and only then :D ) smaller is definitely better. That is the philosophy UNIX was based upon, as well as all of its descendants. If you don't believe me, take a look at the Multics fiasco. ;)
