[ILUG] Not following this.

[Hunt, Bryan]

Well we could also provide information to the irish small business
association

http://www.sfa.ie/ebusiness/

By providing them with something that looked well though out and pragmatic 
you could influence them yourselves.

I'd be very interested in seeing this report and also in any way possible 
try to help out in any way possible.

This is a clear case of false marketing. As we all know, there is no better 
way to get caught in a .NET that you can't get out of then by choosing 
M$..... <pun intended>

If this would go to court, I'd be very interested in hearing the results of 
this bout and I'm assuming everyone else on this list would be
  as well....
