This is a forums dedicated to an operating system that runs on a Nokia phone. I'm sorry if this offends you. But it is a problem that has implications elsewhere in the opensource community, so I bring that up too.

Don't get me wrong. When I need an operating system to back up some files from my Windows machine I'll go straight to linux (unless I get an ms home server license with my MSDN sub sometime since it's pretty much plug and play.)
