Duke Nukem Forever shipped before Hurd. Duke Nukem Forever itself had some... delays [1]. Yet, it got done before Hurd and had 376,000+ installs. You've put Hurd's situation into perspective in a way I didn't think possible. Just wow.

The fun part is that DNF was delayed because of too much money. The HURD didn't need money for that. GNU owns.

I think the team rolling in the money while delivering nothing was probably their end game. HURD's end game was delivering something that worked. In that case, the DNF team owns. :P
