Re: [forge-dev] What to do about our little Windows joke...?
I enjoy the joke quite a lot, however, we've got to be aware that
our software often ends up being used in environments which are far
less inclined towards the jocular, and where humorous is basically
considered unprofessional.
A pluggable fortune-like functionality, turned off by default should
be ideal.

Subject: [forge-dev] What to do about our little Windows joke...?
Hey everyone... we've recently gotten some critical feedback about
our little "Windows? Really? Ok..." joke.
https://community.jboss.org/message/749952#749952
What are your thoughts? Perhaps we could make this a little less
targeted by turning it into more of a pluggable feature, where
different messages show up randomly based on runtime conditions?
Like sometimes it might say, "Just 32 bits?" or "Sun still makes
Java?" or "Linux... nice... does your family know?" or "OSX? What is
a lion, anyway?"
Would like to hear ideas. But I certainly don't want to give up the
character :)
