I wonder why it's not ported to Linux? Some people feel threatened for some reason when I speak with derogation on the subject of M$, but M$ is so much more than just software. I don't think much of it as far as software goes, but that aspect of it doesn't concern me overly. If others choose to use an inferior product, fine by me. And sometimes as you point out, it is necessary to use some applications that for some obscure though doubtless interesting reason, have not been made available to the Unix derivatives, there is sound reason. When I speak about M$, it is with regard to the cheap, grubby, insidiously political, invasive garbage they see fit to impose on our personal existence.
