If I read that correctly the article mentioned that people were having 
trouble transferring "data" from a Linux computer to a Windows computer 
because the applications are different across the two platforms. The 
thought occurred to me that if we ever market a boxed Ark Linux product 
we might also benefit from including a CD in that boxed set that 
includes Linux software ported to Windows like OpenOffice.org, Inkscape 
and others since the alternative is to export it in Windows compatible 
file formats which frequently mean some loss in formatting will be 
experienced. We wouldn't even have to make the CD ourselves since 
TheOpenCD ( http://theopencd.sunsite.dk/ ) already does this for us, all 
we might have to do is update the include software a little which 
shouldn't be that hard since if I'm not mistaken they used the gecko 
engine and html to make their autorun/installer program..

Any thoughts?
