I don't think that is what we're trying to do at all.  I think we
are trying to bring DOS into this century if anything, and to
possibly put it's foot solidly into the future of computing.

As much as I like OD, and the idea of OD, it is hardly going to
be better than any other OS.  Each OS has it's strong points and
it's weak points.  No OS will EVER do everything better than any
other OS, and to strive for that is rediculous.  Multiple tools
for multiple jobs.  If someone gave me a hammer with a built in
screwdriver and said "this does everything, and does it best".  I
would still use my trusty separate hammer, and separate
screwdriver.  Do you see my analogy?
