...Microsoft had offered key Linux developer Alan Cox a job in Redmond, WA. ..."I've been much more focused on the Windows NT and 98 target group as a market," Torvalds said. Without mentioning specifics, Torvalds said he'd rather concentrate on making Linux more useful to "normal people" than adding high-end features -- like 64-128 processor NUMA scalability into Linux. " linuxworld.com Thanks Linus for thinking about me. <G> You'll get me Real -Soon -Now

Well g. I quickly read the article. Some of the points made are correct. But It seems that the folks at linux world have it in for applixware. This author mentioned applix crashing. I have talked to over a dozen users and none have reported any crashes. I have used applixware for over 2 years and it doesn't crash for me. Some of the keyboard stuff is a little clunky. But the import and export experience I've had and others I've talked to agrees with my assertion that the import and export functions of applixware will do 100 % of what 80 to 90% of MS office user do. Another author at linux world wrote the applixscare derision of applixware. Tom Watson.
