RISC OS "RISC OS is said to be used in set top boxes scattered across the world, and a mobile phone developer reportedly bought up a load of RISC OS 5 kit. But some applications of ROS are much closer to home. Martin Hansen reports on the growing use of RISC OS in the timber frame housing industry."

Thanks for the personal flame bait, may I suggest that churlish comments might be the reason that your rating is 0.20?

And, shock!, I actually quite like RISC OS, while I'm at it I'm happy to use OS X, Symbian, EPOC, DOS, Unix, Solaris, Haiku (and other BeOS-a-likes).

Ignoring the flame, however, it appears that you too are commenting like many on this article stating something along the lines of "nice to see things keeping RISC OS going" or "nice to see RISC OS still has its uses", fine I agree its a good use of RISC OS, indeed a clever piece of software, but on OS News?

OS News purportedly states to be "Exploring the future of computing", so articles about new software, new usb stacks, nice releases of RISC OS, new hardware that RISC OS runs on (like those cute A9 homes) is great, this (and I did say and still do, in my humble opinion) was not very forward looking... that's all.

You can take or leave my comments, thats what they're for. Have a nice day Babs!
