More or less. Usually there is quite some pain as it does not integrate as well as applications specifically developed for MS Windwows. Which leads to over-generalization "OSS does not work well" (as in "cannot read MS-Word files flawlessly"). One way to avoid that impression is simply by not supporting MS Windows at all. Maybe not the best, but certainly the simplest. Andre' -- Those who desire to give up Freedom in order to gain Security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one. (T. Jefferson)
