Right, same as I do. I never had a problem running Windows for a
special app which was not available in Linux. And I never had a
problem with using a Gnome app in a KDE environment if the Gnome app
better suited my needs.

</I>
Yes, quite right, same as I do. We totally agree on this.
Now, how is this related to the issue at hand?
