[ros-dev] My attitude

[David Hinz]

Well, Dell is very mighty and they don't always agree with Microsofts 
opinions, so I would say it depends on the situation.
And for OS/2, this would be a big help for the OS/2 subsystem, but I 
think they can't do it, as OS/2 includes some MS-code, and I don't know 
who owns which rights. But who knows, hope dies last...

Greets,

David Hinz
