A serious question to Stardock......

Are Stardock in a position to be able to create their own operating system? Is it financially viable? Would they ever consider it?

It would be great if someone like Stardock could give the public what they really want, which is an easy to use, attractive OS. I have no idea what it takes to create an OS, or what the pitfalls are regarding patent issues and taking on giants like Apple and Microsoft, but now would be the time to do it if it's possible. I know people will say that there is Linux etc, but I have tried those things and they always seem a little unprofessional to me. Stardock would do a much better job in my opinion.

So, is it possible?

Quoting StevenAus,
But isn't Microsoft's idea of W8 that they get 30% (or whatever) of all money made from any W8 programs?

And worse still, they're encouraging 3rd party app developers to write only for the "don't call it Metro" UI, meaning the legacy desktop will eventually become redundant and most probably phased out by MS in time for Win 9, 10 or 11, depending on how fast they can engineer the migration to "don't call it Metro"
