I have just replied to the original message before I read this one, I think
this
could be a fun project. Perhaps we and any others should get together for a
quiet
pint to discuss.

Great idea. I would be interested in putting some time to this, anyone else
?

NB: I do not thing that it would be a good idea to have people involved who
are part of the ``slag off M$ brigade at every opportunity''. We need to be
seen
as mature and resonsible. It doesn't mean that we can't say that M$ is cr*p,
we
just need to do so in a polite and considered way.
