I've always liked the Windows joke, and would be said to see it go. That being said, I understand that you don't necessarily want to insult and alienate an entire user group. I'd support having a little jab at the environment that Forge is running in at start-up. It gives it a bit of a character.

However, I do understand if it's something that needs to be killed =(.

Cheers,
Ryan

Hey everyone... we've recently gotten some critical feedback about our little "Windows? Really? Ok..." joke.

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 :)
