My personal take is that Windows doesn't try and load things into the Linux kernel, or otherwise disrupt the installed Fedora OS so I don't personally care. As for being "popular", I have no doubt they are. So are the nvidia and flgrx drivers, and mp3 support, and a bunch of other things we don't support as well. All of that may be the best stuff since sliced bread and awesome for our users, but it all runs within the Fedora OS and comparing it to something completely outside of it seems odd. Again, this is all my personal opinion which doesn't matter at all. josh -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
