:-) We'll see <smug smile>.

I don't doubt that Linux-ers could eventually build a WPS clone, but
I understand that there are some significant obstacles. Also, I don't
think most of the Linux world (the noteable exception being those who
have switched from OS/2) has a clue about the WPS and how great it
is, or even that it exists.

BTW, we don't necessarily need a WPS clone. Conceivably, if we had a
kernel clone we might run the existing WPS on top of it. But
preferably I'd like to see a WPS clone too since the WPS, as great as
it is, needs a LOT of work. (Though much of this work is being done
now by the XWorkplace folks.)
