True... but the app is running on...
A Linux machine. The icon starts cygwin with xfree and then executes an ssh execte on the other end to display the app on the Windows Desktop.
I keep having to explain to them... the idea behind Linux and Filesystems.
One of these days, the Flush-n-Forget will see the light as soon as he can't figure out howto do it in Word.
The Glassy-Eyed one, will just have to sit in front of it for days at a time to "get it"
In any case, I have considered letting the app run on Windows2K/2K3/XP/XP-MCE/XP-SP2(which it can). My only problem with it is that I can't control things as much.

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]
