Why the swearing? Where's the debate? Let's calmly agree that
we need all apps that have a significant user-base ported to the
Win32 API asap to make it accessible and useful to the maximum
number of people - we don't need one or the other, we need both, all

I'd like to discourage this forum being used to debate the rights and
wrongs of various historically successful apps
