Rather than compare the "hobbiest toys" linux and Hercules, I'll compare the hobbiests Linus Torvalds and Roger Bowler.
Linus studiously avoids having anything to do with anything except Linux. He pays no attention to Windows, AIX or whatever. He just improves his "toy", with the result it is taking on the world on its own merits.
Roger, on the other hand, is paying an unhealthy amount of interest to what someone else (namely IBM) is doing. And (Turbo)Hercules is seriously suffering in consequence.
Cheers,

For someone who touted on this very page his "native" English language skills your orthography leaves a lot to be desired. I'm not talking about a typo but about a mistake you made consistently (twice) in the part quoted above, suggesting that one might add your "native" claim to the long list of untruths you spread here. If you don't know which spelling mistake I mean, look up a dictionary. It doesn't have to be the Merriam-Webster or American Heritage Dictionary since you reject those. While you're at it, you might also want to look up the definition of "to assert" (something you raised elsewhere on this page). If you need help, there's a link in this posting.

The English are famous for being worse at spelling the English language than anyone else in Europe. Wol is just proving this.
(I'm a freak: English and can spell.)
