| The correct answer is: no, it's not Microsoft Windows, it's Debian
| GNU/Linux "Lenny" (testing), with the minimum dependencies needed to run
| F-Spot! (Actually, I guess that all not the files are needed, but this is how
| they package them, and how the dependencies are set.)

| I read the agreement between Xandros and Microsoft, and one of the excluded
| products was Mono, so Microsoft promises to not sue Xandros over their
| distribution but excluding Mono and a few other products, i.e. they reserve
| the right to sue over Mono. I wonder if this is an interesting preview of on
| what basis they want to fight the free world.

| Interestingly, the Novell deal seems to be different, Mono is not excluded
| from the Novell deal. So Microsoft seems to be promising not to sue Novell
| over Mono, but keeps the option open for Xandros. Weird but true.

| proprietary company's side to his side!!!
