Well, Linux is more difficult to get started with, but I've done a lot of Unix programming before so I know that once you're up to speed, it's a very productive environment for complex software engineering work. In the past I have not liked doing software development on M$ nearly as much, but, they tell me the new .Net framework is very good in some ways.

In the real world of OS design, efficiency is a prime consideration. Making an OS that's both natural for AI and efficient on current computers, will be very very hard. I tend to think that it may not be a possible thing.... Perhaps an OS like Linux is necessary as one of several intermediate layers between the world of the von Neumann machine and the non-von-Neumannesque world of AI... I think it's possible that one day there might be a tight integration between Novamente and the Linux OS -- maybe even a custom Linux for Novamente. Linux is written in such a way that this would at least be possible. -- Ben ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?[EMAIL PROTECTED]
