Gene is using "Windows technology" in a way that provides no revenue to Microsoft, and the replies I've seen (which argue that Microsoft is bad) appear to suggest there's something wrong with that. At the same time, I see postings about those who use Microsoft mice, keyboards, and joysticks....and these are OK. I've never seen a posting arguing that one should buy a non-Microsoft hardware to use with Fedora. I think that's curious to say the least. Erik
