Noooooo way! :-) You'd be taking a stupid little example of the "Desktop
War" (that doesn't really exist, but any excuse to talk about it seems to be
attractive to journalists), and putting it in front of all kinds of people
who really don't know the situation in totality. It's *really* not worth it.
It would just draw attention to something that really shouldn't have any.
