Agreed. But then, I never felt being part of a community together with
Microsoft. The question is, of course, whether we limit our target
audience too much if we restrict it to people that feel part of the Free
Software Community. At least for interactions with users we shouldn't
(and consequently should use the strange "Sie"/"vous" etc.). For
administrators I don't know.
