New name for "DIR"

[WreckWriter]

Robert Carmichael is JJ's partner in Halcyon and certainly also had a lot to do with the branding of the term.

You're right though, the whole package is the biggest rising star I've ever seen in this industry.

It is not difficult to write an operating system but if it can’t run all the MS software nobody will buy it no matter how good it could be

:box:
Ahhhh!!!! Ok. No. I'm definately not going to get into this one. However I truely hope you don't intend to compare DIR/GUE/Halcyon to Microsoft, as that completely kills all credibility. The closest analogy I've been able to find to fit with MS and Bill Gates is to a drug tzar and his cartel. dependancy == market.

So many words... so much restraint....

Is it too late to weigh in on a new name?

One of the guy at our shop proposed the following alternative to DIR:

Doing
It
Correctly

That way, the DIR guys who want to can maintain their superior tone by Doing It Correctly instead, and the rest of us will snicker at them for DIC-ing it up. GI, as a top guy, would of course be a DIC Head; everybody else would just be little DICs. I think this idea has legs.

Spectre jumped threads Rick... and you jumped with him.
But at least you were able to hold onto the theme.
Me... I'm sorta threadless...
spreading good cheer where ever I go.

I was thinking the same thing, but I didn't give it enough thought to come up with a "K" word to make it a 4 letter acronym!

Oh, I don't know... "Doing It Korrectly" has a certain apropos message in it, don't you think?
