I was a bit harsh. It has a few typos, however... What you are saying is, we need better software, period, before we can implement good AI. Maybe you also hinted at easier-to-learn languages. However, complex things require complex languages, and complex software just is complex! Hence, you get bugs, bugs are unavoidable. You could use FreeBSD, or hunt down a copy of BeOS if it'll make your life easier. But this is just your own personal development problem, I don't have the same problems myself.

Personally I think nothing is holding back development of AI but the complexity of AI itself! Cheers, Jeremy. PS. I don't think an 850mb hard disk would cut it for a complex AI system...
