./////////.; i'm not gonna say a word.

ANYHOO, PEOPLES. WE BE OT. PER KISO'S REQUEST I WILL HAUL THIS TRAIN BACK ON ITS TRACKS WITH JUST MY TWO HANDS~~~SUPAAAAHHHHH~~

lesee, people, we are only worrying about the BASICS(and not the vintage BASIC-tan) right now.

are people cool w/ the following catagories for OS classes?
Windows
Mac
Linux
Unix
DOS
Others


ps. if there was ever an OS romeo x juliet it would be kyourou x emuii. ^^

[Aurora Borealis]

I agree with the classes.

[Chocofreak13]

[stewartsage]

Virginia says aye.

[Chocofreak13]

3/6. everyone else?

[Bella]

New Hampsha says aye!

[Chocofreak13]

4/6.

[Kiso]

We need to be looking out a few steps ahead into the road to make sure everyone comes ready to voice their opinion.

Am I right or am I wrong on this suggestion? *is only following where OP leads... but doesn't know where to...*

[NejinOniwa]

Demon says Yarr.

5/6. and kiso, to address your concerns, we are thinking only of the groundwork right now, no storyline, no "where does this -tan fall" ect ect.
just the BASICS, though everyone seems to be going off on random tirades.

so, do you vote yay or nay?

[Exa]

Actually, I think this kind of categorization makes sense, so I believe we can go on with that. I have no objections.

[Chocofreak13]

6/7. :3

[Kiso]

@Chocofreak: I did say "yes" already? Well... let me make sure I do now then... yes!

[Chocofreak13]

IT IS DONE.

OS-CLASSES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
WINDOWS
MAC
DOS
LINUX
UNIX
OTHERS

MOVING ON, NEXT TOPIC:
SOFTWARE CLASSES.

Application
Website
Program
Antivirus (could fall under program, so this one's up for debate)
Other (sidebar gadgets, ect)

[Kiso]

Instead of using "Software" as the group class... I'd suggest using "Applications/Programs". Why? Well... "software" is too redundant for it's general group word and may as well include OSes and all that. On the other hand, "application" and/or "program" are a bit more specific in that it basically asks "what does it do?"

Anyways, the above suggestion aside... I propose the following classes:

Web - More general for both browsers (Firefox, Safari, IE, etc.), engines (Trident, WebKit, Gecko, etc.) and actual pages and their internal widgets (since these are viewed/used through the browsers). ((Programs that can access or require a web connection, but do not actually browse/render the web, should probably not be in here.))

Office - We all know this one should include stuff like MS Office, OpenOffice.org and stuff related to them.

Security - This is for malware security suites such as Norton, AVG, Security Essentials and the like.

Creative/Design - Any suite/app that allows you to create/edit images, websites, magazines, and other stuff in 2D, 3D and audio. Adobe Creative Suite, Autodesk Maya and Vocaloid (yay MikuLuka!) would be great examples of this section.

Messaging/Chat - This is where all of those programs should be, you don't view the web through them you just communicate with other people. I guess this should include both text, audio and video.

Performance/Optimization - Tools that help a computer stay in tip-top shape.

Multimedia - Media consumption applications that allow you to just view, watch and/or listen to your stuff. Windows Media Player, iTunes, Winamp, Zune player, Windows Media Center (not the actual OS, mind you), Preview (that's from Mac OS), etc.)

Hmm... I guess that should about cover all of the things that are in my folder.
