I agree - I also hope that you and other SW providers might be able to
consider the Linux platform as well as Windows. Ubuntu is bringing
Linux into shacks and homes that a year or two ago would have
considered Linux as too difficult and too geeky.

I have to keep a WinXP system just for HRD, Logger32 et al - be nice
to avoid  the need for two systems.

Hopefully initiatives like the Lazarus project (a Delphi-clone on
Linux) are going to start making it easier for software developers to
provide better support.

Looking forward to the K3 (but waiting until 2008 when I can buy one
off the shelf and personally hand carry it home from the US)
