Aaaargh... it has, really? I don't read it (they're enemies after all!).

Yeah, simple clients are easy but getting full WM / desktop sessions
running can be a little more work, so I could do that. Don't have Cygwin
(or Windows at all) on my laptop, but could demonstrate WeirdX (Java X
server for accessing Linux apps in IE).

This seems a good idea, and as Ken is interested in this too, think we
should go ahead with it?
