NeoTechni:

Do you guys really wanna go that route with me here? I'm just going to clone the new features and steal users. I recommend making it XP compatible.

Or I will

Someone certainly has a high opinion of themselves.  Here's an idea:  instead of cloning everything they release, why not put those skills to use and build something really useful and interesting.   I guess it's easier to imitate what they do while condemning the way they do it.

Flame on!

You must be new here. My name is Techni, I've been the one making dozens of programs specifically for making using UMPCs easier and more user friendly.

Had you spent more than 1 minute or two reading the software section you'd know this.
It's also the reason I have the single most posts of any user on this site

And the ONLY thing I'm condemning is that they didn't make it XP compatible

And how is it a high opinion, when I've cloned OE before?

Hey Alex,

         Why is the Origami Team just leaving the Tablet Xp users, who bought into this idea when it was new, out to dry. I know vista is MS's new play toy, but a little support every now and again pays off last I checked. Next I'm going to be told to go out and buy a copy of vista, that will probably drag this little R2H into the ground. Heck I even set up for my "upgrade" to vista for this thing, and never got that, thank you moduslink for biting off more then you can chew. I guess what I'm saying is I'm feeling let down here. Closer to disappointed really.

Alex:

The Origami Experience 2.0 only runs on Windows Vista. I've been running it on my Samsung Q1P and it works well. We're looking forward to releasing it on the web soon. Thank you everyone for your patience :)

Thanks for the info, Alex. It's good to see some *real* info. :)

Don't blame the development team for Marketing decisions, OX was always meant to make users buy Vista versions of the UMPC (that is why it is also locked to UMPC style machines)

 that will probably drag this little R2H into the ground.

Vista is actually running nicely on my R2H (with 1.2GB memory) I find is easier to use then XP (just DO NOT enable 'readyboost'!)

It sounds like you may have spent a little too much time watching The Matrix.  Online identities are great, but real life is nice too.

Dozens?  Really?  You've made >24 programs that make UMPC's easier to use?  I've seen your other apps.  Never had a desire to use any of them, but I'm sure some people find them indispensable.  The point is that you seem to have the knowledge and the interest needed to make something trully interesting.  I haven't seen anything original from you that approaches even the limited usefulness of OX 1 or 2.  Why not try and build something original that makes UMPC's better tools for everday computer use (web, multimedia, contacts/communications, etc.).  Something that works well and has a nice UI would go a long way toward making the UMPC platform a better device.  More often you have imitated and made silly threats. 

..."Make it XP compatible...or I will"...  Come on.

While I agree that it is a stupid move to unnecessarily lock programs to one revision of the same OS, I imagine that ultimately the decision lies much farther up than the OX team.  MS has done this with countless other products in an effort to push Vista.  Blame the right person.

NeoTechni:

It is a high opinion because you are often arrogant and antagonistic.  I've been here plenty long to see that.  My intent is not to belittle your contributions, but I find your attitude annoying.

Please use this to further bolster your already impressive post count.

It's the name I go by in real life as well. Have since kindergarten when it was given to me

Dozens?  Really?  You've made >24 programs that make UMPC's easier to use?

Yes. And my point remains, I have made many programs that aren't copies. And I never make straight copies, I always improve

The point is that you seem to have the knowledge and the interest needed to make something trully interesting.  I haven't seen anything original from you that approaches even the limited usefulness of OX 1 or 2

Not possible, I cloned OX 1 and made it better, bare minimum I've surpassed the limited usefullness of OX 1. And you admitted you saw it. And I don't post non-UMPC focussed apps here, there's no point. I've made hundreds of other programs. I have hundreds of megs of my source code.

; More often you have imitated and made silly threats. 

No, you've seen a small portion of my apps. You can't claim I've done something more often. And as I said before, the threat was meant to be somewhat silly.

I imagine that ultimately the decision lies much farther up than the OX team.  MS has done this with countless other products in an effort to push Vista.  Blame the right person.

And the decision only hurts them when I can clone it. UMPCs aren't made to run Vista well. Most UMPC users run XP. IF MS want to make a UMPC app, it better run on most of them. There's no point making the app otherwise

It is a high opinion because you are often arrogant and antagonistic

I'm hurt, I'm neither of those.

And if you want a program for a specific purpose, suggest it, and if it's interesting I'll make it. Other people here have done so and I've made programs for them.

And the whole, you must be new here part was made cause your comment was hilarious. Everyone on this site knows I've made other programs to help make using UMPCs easier and weren't copies. The way you claimed I didn't was extremely ironic.

Might I suggest that the two of you take this conversation offline?
