^^Yes..I am sure they are considering that too...

Guys,what do you think ? From OSS point of view, Is this a good move ?

There are two schools of thought on this one..
a:> It will allow windoze users (and ppl who have not migrated to linux) to try and test a Desktop Environment and then, when they become comfy with that, move on to linux.

or

b:> As it will provide a DE with all good apps on windows, it will stop users (in terms of motivation) from thinking about moving to Linux.

I am more towards the "a" school of thought! What do you guys think ?
