I do have an objection.
If we are a FLOSS based project then we are a FLOSS based project.

It's either
1) we are a FLOSS based project and in that case - Sorry - we
shouldn't even care about M$ windows.
I can understand it when we talk about openoffice under windows but I can't
understand it when we talk about M$ word.

2) We are not a FLOSS only project and in that case we should announce it.
