You can't empathize? You can't give them a little slack? They didn't spend enough time testing the demo of the OS on a browser for your liking? They were probably busy building an operating system. If their core competency was website building, you would have a point. But in this case you're just being pedant.
No, I'm saying I can't do the tour because it doesn't fit in my browser. Most potential users would just go away at that point. Instead of just going away, I mentioned it here so someone can know.
It's the first time they've done this sort of demo. I betcha the next realeses will not have as many issues.
Release early, realease often.
Most potential users don't go through the effort of downloading and running a live cd/usb. The web demo is a major hook, it just needs a couple iterations to be perfected. That is the way of the open source.
>Most potential users would just go away at that point.
Most?
You viewed the demo with the intention of checking out the OS. This isn't the only way to check out an OS. In fact, this method is relatively the first of its kind. The first time you probably ever saw a demo like this. It doesn't work so you give up on any other method? Screenshots? Live CD? Writeups on blogs. You know, all the ways you normally "tour" an OS. And ultimately you give up on the OS entirely? Any SERIOUS potential user will find other ways of checking out the OS. Like we've done with every other OS in the past.
I can't believe you're actually arguing this point.
