Re: Next WM release any time soon?

I have to agree with electronicrice....

If you'd never flashed a PPC before, could you do it with the current kitchen?

I think the issue everyone is overlooking with the PPCKitchen team can be summed up in this quote from the website:

"PPCKitchen.org is dedicated to putting out free easy-to-use solutions for end users who wish to update or customize the software on their Windows Mobile phones."

As I have witnessed the evolution of the PPCKitchen project, I've noticed that the only significant leap in the direction of the stated purpose of the team was the development of first kitchen. Since then, they have fallen into the same quagmire that we all ***** about M$ being in and each "update" to buildOS just continues along that path. For me, the current BuildOS is completely unusable. The entire application is counter-intuitive, and the "automatic" update is anything but automatic. Since the new buildOS came out(after Helmi's original kitchen for the Apache), I've went back to the old-style of ROM cooking with the individual tools, I pull what I want out of the different ROMs and the kitchen RARs and cook it myself.

Too much time is being spent on bells and whistles and not enough time on core functionality.
