I found the joke funny, but if I had to see it every time it would get annoying.

The fact is a joke will always bother/offend someone no matter what it is. Some people are just too sensitive IMO. Others may not have a choice in the OS they use at work and it might be a sad reminder they *have* to use Windows. Really Windows isn't the issue as much of it's horrid (lack of) command prompt.

I do agree with George that the OS information would be a good idea.

And not to get too off topic, but when I tested the AS 7 plugin on Windows it wasn't nearly as nice as it was on Linux and OS X. Tab complete didn't work for the most part. Not sure if that's a jline thing or a Forge thing though. Command history didn't seem to work either.

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 :)
