Title says it all, this guy is nuts. It just goes to show how little people know that aren't in the business of making software. I don't think most people even remotely have an idea of what it takes to make software. This
guy over at GetACoder.com wants someone to build an operating system that will do everything XP does, run all the programs XP does, be completely hacker proof for less than $3000. I should bid for $1000 bucks and put an
Ubuntu cd in the mail with instructions on how to setup
Wine.
Wouldn't it be great if people just realized that this stuff doesn't just magically appear. I can say that I've spoken to a person or two that believes that everything is easy because even they know how to "code", in HTML.

Budget: $ 1000-3000
Description
Hi,
So I'm posting for a rather large project. I need someone to program me a new OS (Operasting System) that looks different than Ms Windows XP etc. but has the same style. It does not need to run on a mac but all the other PCs. It's supposed to have a stylish look with clear edges etc. And ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE JUST A REDESIGNED WINDOWS as I'm going to sell that operating system later on. It's going to be called BlueOrb.
These are some important points :
It should have ALL THE FEATURES that Windows Xp Professional has.
ALL the files that run on Windows XP ust also run on the BlueOrb OS.
It must have a very user-friendly interface (like MS WINDOWS XP)
When it gets Installed, the user needs to insert a serial number.
It HAS to be HACKER SAFE!
It must be quick and good looking.
