You could have a point there, and now I have reacted. I don't join a
mailinglist concerning Linux to get updates on the possibility of porting an MS
app to Linux.
Another thing about IE, is that a Swedish computer magazine (PC+) made a survey
of what browsers were most used. Of cuorse, IE won the race, but it doesn't
really mean a thing. I mean, that if someone gave you a pre installed machine
with window maker for example and you don't know about alternatives, then why
should you use for example KDE or Gnome insteas. May it be that KDE or Gnome ar
far superior to Windowmaker when it comes to usability for Linux starters.
Hope you get my point here. Think I lost it somewhere..
