My production computer currently dual boots WindowsXP & Karmic Koala (I use VMs for OSes I need to test under with VirtualBox which runs under both installed OSes). Yes Karmic Koala uses less resources, but from a John-Q user does far less than Windows. Also, you will find that Linux is moving more towards run time packages also. There are a number of apps that are using the GTK+ run time package. As to marketing strategy, your right Microsoft is in the business to make money . . . they make that money by selling software. I take pot shots at Microsoft on a regular basis mainly because I don't mind anybody making a 'reasonable' profit . . . they far surpass what I consider reasonable. The fact that they want to control the market is what successful business want to do. John-Q though needs to let Microsoft know with their wallets what they think of the quality of the products. No, I am not telling everyone to switch to Linux since Linux doesn't do a good job of listening to John-Q either. Telling a person that the software is free is all well and good . . . but if it doesn't do what John-Q wants/needs to do or can be done easily then John-Q is simply going to ignore the product. Whether you sell a set product or deliver services, I believe that what the customer telling me what they want/need is better than me telling the customer what I think they should have. I primarily make skeletons, simply because I know every business is different. By simply showcasing skeletons I give the customer the opportunity to say what THEY want. Let me give you an example one of my truly pet peeves with Windows is the file dialog box. Why after all of these iterations of Windows is the file dialog box not totally customizable?

Well, yesterday I posted an invitation to the Eraser forum for the developers to join the discussion here in ACF. I'd really like to see them reconsider their use of dotnet 3.5 in version 6.

Yes, I made the same mistake. Stopped the install as soon as it tried to give me dotnet. Eraser was a very good smallish utility. I'll keep using an older version on XP Pro. Deep Joy ............
