I think I've said all I need to say on this matter, I'm not out to |
| 20 |
prove any point really and don't have a dog in this fight. I might not |

agree with how Lennart and RH are proceeding with implementation, but I |

I'm not sure about Microsoft's motivations in what you describe. My |
| 26 |
first reaction is that the Great Circle of IT Life is turning and |
| 27 |
MS are trying something new for them. Whether it's applicable to us |
| 28 |
here as an illustration remains to be seen - I know very little about |

Windows so can't even begin to draw sensible parallels. |
