Perhaps some NFB folks on the list could address this. But as on
outside observer, my impression is that NFB, i.e. NFBCS, is in love
with Windows and the 3rd party developers, and not much impressed with
open source and the Linux world. 

To quote Greg, who says it so well, I stand to be corrected here.
