May I suggest that people re-read Orwell's "Animal Farm", and then decide
where to draw the line. By suitable choice of methods of twisting the
meaning of words, it is possible to legitimize putting Microsoft's free
software (such as IE) on IGLU servers.
An alternative, which I like better, is for someone (not me, I am now busy
going to demonstrations to secure higher quality of life for the deaf in
Israel) to start a project, like Ivrix, which will focus on support of
transition from MS-Windows (of all flavors) to Linux. Such a project will
make it easy for people to get copies, opinions, discussions and advice
concerning software like VMWare, Wine, MS-Windows ports of AbiWord, and
the like.

There is no single IGLU Cabal. It made more sense to have several
independent projects, each of which having its own czar.
The deaf in Israel demand 100% captions of boring Hebrew langauge movies,
lousy Israeli TV programs and non-funny Israeli-produced cable TV
comedies.
