I sure don't. I wish that I had the time to work on this project. I agree with the perception of threat relating to Microsofts entry into the 3d market. This is a mild flame: Please do not activly seek to alienate developers of linux. I don't care if you think his/her ideas are the rat's ass or not - many of these people are responsible for a large amount of what you are obviously taking for granted. Those of us who have been around in the Linux community for a while remember the Ross Biro mess. Linux is a truely good thing and actively chasing away those who seek to or have already contributed to the community is a self-defeating, shortsighted, and at the least impolite thing to do.
