Re: [libreoffice-users] [libreoffice-marketing] MS plans to force OEMs to add boot feature that blocks use of Linux and free software.

Hi :)
Please can we try to tone-down this thread?  This List should be supporting people that use LO on 
Windows (amongst other platforms).  The various swear-words and stuff seem a little intimidating 
and may discourage people from daring to ask for help here.  

When people ask for help it is often useful to know which platform they are using and we don't want 
people to be afraid of admitting using Windows since that is our largest target market.  Also it's 
not very kind or polite and i think we need to be both on this list.  
Regards from
Tom :)
