Thanks for your interest in helping out with the project, but
I do have somewhat of an objection to the type of document
you have just created.

I don't think it is in any way effective to start an OS war by
publishing all kinds of data that we like, nor is it our task
to compare the OSes side by side.

That will only lead to a perpetration of FUD from all sides,
resulting in a nastier situation than we are in now. Instead,
I propose we focus on the FUD itself and seek to counter that
and educate the public.

Rik
