Someone jump in and tell me how this story has anything to do with Linux or open source. This Windows-only application won't run on any Linux flavor, or even a Mac apparently. Why post it to LXer? Does anyone review these articles before approving them? From their website: "You just need a PC running Windows XP, Vista, 7, 2003 or 2008. The software requires something called the '.NET Framework 2.0', though you most likely have this installed already. If you don't, you'll be asked to download it." |

I have to agree with HoTMetaL. This is a Windows only program, it doesn't even appear to be Free Software. I read the article, and thought big whoop, so what, it's got nothing to do with Linux or Free Software. It's just another no cost proprietary program that provides a workaround around for the short comings of Windows. |

Scott, you've been doing a terrific job ever since they fixed you. http://lxer.com/module/forums/t/30798/ |

While I tend to be more lenient than some here when it comes to choice of articles, I have to agree that this one shouldn't have made the cut. Thanks for removing it Scott. |

In these here parts "fixed" is a veterinary term. Poor Scott.... |
