I'm no expert either, but I'm having trouble *finding* some good laymen information on it. Laymen in the sense that I am old school C programmer who only used vi and make to build tools and don't have any of this higher level sort-of-object-oriented-programming under my belt. My message may be off base a little, but I guess what I'm looking for is an easy to understand explanation of what Miguel is trying to do without the incessant praise of M$. Leave the Beast out of the conversation and just explain to me exactly what my desktop is going to be doing, if anything, without my consent and that it'll never be touching a *.microsoft.com machine. I actually find his latest statements (quoted in The Register) as a bit offensive. Telling people to 'get over it' when referring to our issues with M$ shows that he has little or no experience getting royally screwed by them in business as so many people have been through. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.
