very right , the best example ..... I have not seen any Liux user
longing for Windows Media Player, well tell me how many Windows Media
player users run VLC ??
correct me if i am wrong.

I had seen a similar discussion (on LWN, I think when the last major
release of Mono was announced) earlier where Miguel de Icaza was blamed
and condemned for his two-sided behaviour towards Microsoft and Open
Source Software. But one among the many who wrote comments rightly noted
that : 
"Compared to the massive contributions Icaza has made to OSS (GNOME) we
really are not eligible enough to comment on his ...... "
I think a similar argument goes in the case of the boycott Novell people
too, though i partially support their cause .
