Recently people on the blogosphere and in the more mainstream media have been taking a look at what we’ve been doing on “Super-Mega-Ultra Revolutionary Desktop Environment Paradigm 4” and asking questions such as “Will it live up to the hype?”. Speaking frankly, we don’t know where this idea that Super-Mega-Ultra Revolutionary Desktop Environment Paradigm4 would be a super-mega-ultra revolution in the desktop environment paradigm has been coming from. Obviously Super-Mega-Ultra Revolutionary Desktop Environment Paradigm 4 won’t be a super-mega-ultra revolution in desktop environment paradigms and anyone who thinks that it possibly could did not understand the various blog posts we have written entitled “Super-Mega-Ultra Revolutionary Desktop Environment Paradigm 4 will be a super-mega-ultra revolution in desktop environment paradigms“, nor the conference talks entitled “The Super-Mega-Ultra Revolutionary Desktop Environment Paradigm is almost here” and missed the note on the website where we clearly denounced the idea that we were creating a new desktop environment paradigm. For those that missed it, I reproduce it in full here below:
“In creating The Super-Mega-Ultra Revolutionary Desktop Environment Paradigm 4 we will be creating a super-mega-ultra revolution in the desktop environment paradigm. This will truely be a desktop environment paradigm to surpass all others.“
I don’t think we could have been clearer in communicating our intentions. So if, when we release Super-Mega-Ultra Revolutionary Desktop Environment Paradigm 4 in October, you feel cheated and let down that all we’ve done is change the icons round a bit and copied the widgets idea from Apple, well then you’ve only got yourselves to blame.
it would be funny if it was a joke, the problem is that it isn’t, shows how much scared you are
I’m scared that New Zealanders will take offense and hunt me down. That and scorpions are all I am scared of.
