Depends on the feedback. "Make it more like Windows!"
"Can you implement COM in Linux?" "We really really need
ActiveX." "Oh, BTW, WinInet is a very useful utility in
Windows; you should put it in the Linux kernel." "Did
you guys implement Excel in Linux yet?"
(The answers are of course: depends on what part, maybe
but why, no, there are alternate solutions (especially if
one uses Java), and yes if one counts OpenOffice's oocalc
or Gnumeric.)
