I'm sorry if i'll sound too negative, but... Aurawin is the worst kind of
the web-based bloatedness that started to spread the last few years.

PLEASE PEOPLE STOP PUTTING ALL THIS #(*(@ ON THE BROWSER!

It is like developers wake up every morning and come up with new things to
shove in the browser. The web wasn't made for this!

Maybe, but right now i'm on a network that serves downloads for multiple
users over the world and i *still* had to wait several seconds in order to
show a simple login form. My 4.77MHz XT could do it faster than this.

I don't care for your bloatedness. Dropbox installs a small deamon that
syncs files across computers with little network usage. That is all it does
and doesn't need to do anything more!

Stop bulletpoint driven development.

Yeah, only everyone minus a tiny ~2% minority in the world uses Windows.
And my quote was only an example to show that Features Do Not Matter. It is
where the people go that matters.

Now please stop the spam. Thanks.
