It is fun, but I was not ware that scale of this mess was so great. All I did was to make the request for Microsoft not to blow things out of proportion. Sheesh, by letting us, without noise or action, create R/W support of NTFS for Linux they would have been able to give the appearence that they were behaving.
Regardless, congrates on using the entry point. I just hope everyone at Mircosoft is still there. I would feel really bad if an aquiantence of my there had reprocussions. We would need to find a way to help them out, if they took it on the chin for us.
Cheers,
