I had hoped beyond hopes that someone was working on a truly open source
alternative to windows that could easily run any program ever made for
it, and I stumble across this project.

All I can say is THANK YOU, and I wish your whole group the most
heartfelt best of luck. It would be the one thing that squared a wrong
done many years back by that little thief. To have an OS that would be
completely compatible with them all is a dream that far to many of us
share, and for it to be open source well. I just don't know what to say
I am ecstatic about it. Once again the very very best to each and
everyone of you that make it happen.

For people like myself being disabled and on a fixed income the prices
that MS puts on their programs just sickens me. I have never intended to
be a thief in my life, I served my County and worked up until the day I
fell to the ground, never to recover completely. Then fought nearly 3
years to get the measly little they give me back of my own money. And it
just irks me to see then do as they do, I mean I am all for a person
getting paid for their time and effort, it is only fair. but to charge
prices that most people can not archive, that is not how it was meant to
be. Anyway I am rambling, I just wanted to be sure you all knew that
there are many of us that would love to see your dream "and ours" come true!
Best of luck! and God Bless!
