Unbelievable!! and much better than SymbOS then, isn't it?

As this is not Wikipedia but our own scene CPCWiki, I wouldn't like to force the articles to follow strict rules, but at least the following two rules should be respected by everyone:

:Okay, then I'll try asking here. Btw. before messing with the futureos page, I tried to contact you elsewhere - but that didn't work - the link to your webpage was broken, the email address was broken, and the "futureos hardware" thread last week in the forum didn't get too much replies either, it only sounded as if nobody knows what hardware you are referring to. So that's why I added the unclear portions. Anyways, can you check the questions in forum? http://cpcwiki.eu/forum/index.php/topic,562.0.html - nocash
* no advertisment-like phrases
+
* no false information
+
  
The following parts in this article should be removed and replaced in a section like "possible plans for the future":

::I know the problems with the web page, well the provider is CMO ,-) What else to say. I'm a customer there just due to some sentimental reasons, not because of the excellent service and pricing *coffing*. And yes my tfm@futureos.de email is broken too. However a PM here will always work. For any kind of discussions I would suggest also the FutureOS yahoo group, because a lot of people can answer there too. Further the Wiki is not complete, which means I own CPC hardware and I support it with FutureOS, but you won't find it in the Wiki now. Another point, please don't expect me to be in the forum that often, as a researcher I'm glad to have some time for the CPC at all. So please be patient if something isn't answered quick or at all. There is no bad intention, no lack of interrest, but my day only has 36 hours ;-).
* IDE support (mentioned several times, and first I mixed v8 with v9, but as it should only be a possible part of v9 [and now even v8 isn't released], it will not be implemented before 2007 or later, right?)
+
* CPC Booster support (you can't call an entry in the port monitor "support")
+
* Multi tasking (I couldn't find any references)
+
If I am wrong, and these features are already implemented in FutureOS and ready for download, please provide us a link.
+
 
+
Some other parts should also be removed:
+
* One-drive restriction of other OSs (nearly every OS can do this, even Amsdos allows drive letters in a path)
+
* Advertisment-like phrases (e.g. "FutureOS is for programmers who want to use the CPC at its limits" and other ones; these should be better placed on a homepage but not in a Wiki)
