Heh, I never noticed the mail until just before the story went to the joys
of /.

I think it was worthwhile and this could work out well for both groups.  I
answered the survey, I hope they take my input and act on it.  Lets face
it if MS were to make Windows Free (as in Freedom, not Beer) I would be
happy to use it, all that device suppoty and all, with the chance to fix
all of the flaws.

However I don't think this is going to happen, so it will be interesting
to see what they do with the feed back.

Take care - RL
