Microsoft and interoperability with Linux

[Colin McCubbin]

Fine...

Please remove me from the list. I personally thought Stephen's comment 
(actually an attack on the original poster)  was infantile and uncalled 
for, I'm surprised you feel it was adult.

I have great respect for what Mark Shuttleworth and Canonical have 
achieved in past years, bringing GNU/Linux to the attention of the 
masses, although I have for several years been recommending Mint and 
using Mint myself. Only my wife's laptop still runs Ubuntu.

And, in passing, thanks to members of this group whose posts I have read 
with interest over the past years.
