| Ruth,
| Many thanks for your response.
| Do you have any firm indication when these later releases of ROS are
likely
| to
| available to UNIX / Linux users. Do you have a firm date or is it more
of an
| aspirational objective at this stage?
|
| I am aware of a number of people employed in the IT sector who are in a
| similar position to myself. I believe that there is a sufficient
demand for
| the service on Linux / UNIX. I certainly believe that the demand is
greater
| that that from Mac users. What would the Revenue position be in such a
case?
|
| Your Sincerely,
| Ciaran Mulloy
