I agree, Tom!  We have a better product and a better method.  We do not need 
to be criticizing other companies/products.

PLUG is not a MS-bashing organization - it is a PRO-GNU/LINUX/Open Source 
group.  We are here to help each other, not slam each other.  Maybe when we 
ALL learn that we need to be promoting what we know is better, we will see 
the others running for cover.
