<Bing Bing Bing> whoops my "holywar detector" just went off.
It's interesting how the original mindstorms software was only available for
windows. (which does make sense, there are a lot of windows users out there)
and because of this there was a huge effort by the memebers of this list to
get software working on other platforms. Now the tables have turned, the
most powerful software (legOS (notice I didn't say "best" or "easist to
use")) is targetted at the *nix platforms and totally marginalizes the
original windows users. As a windows user this is mildly annoying, we are
used to being considered the center of the universe (1).
Cheers

(1) Thats a self deprecating pun people, no need for the napalm.
