Hey Jaap, Thanks for showing us this! It's pretty cool that we got such an active, albeit occasionally negative thread going.
I do thing most of the legitimate criticism (i.e well-meaning) is valid though -- we don't really do much explaining of *what* elementary is, why it's an "OS", or frankly, what it does. I do believe that this will change with the website "2.0" hopefully in time/before Luna. Plus, Luna is so many worlds (pun intended) away from Jupiter that it should be much clearer what it is that we as a project are capable of. Oh and mad props for keeping that thread sane and representing us so well, Jaap!
