Can I make a suggestion? Go after the embedded market as well as the
desktop market. I worked for years at a company on embedded products that
had no user-interface but we were required to use NT. And honestly, the NT
kernel (witout the GUI) is pretty good for soft-real time stuff.

Interestingly enough, I just started an embedded systems company for some
software that I used to have as GPL. But I stopped supporting the GPL
tree due to lack of interest.

I like the corporation idea. Maybe a good thing to do would be to see if
Lindows would offer a bounty or be a first customer. They seem to have the
sales channel starting up.

The NTFS driver and networking are two areas that really need improvment.
