I think we have agreed in the absence of any fact that states otherwise, 
we are playing it safe and are going to take screenshot on other 
platforms other than windows. Unless we get a legal opinion that allows 
us to do so, screenshots will be done this way. This has been already 
discussed on this thread and others and on OOo threads. I don't know how 
many more times it needs to be rehashed, unless someone with legal 
authority jumps in and dispels any liability issues.

Personally, I don't think it's worth a fight with MS. We need to pick 
our battles and this one is really not worth it at this point.
