The rest of your post suggested, to me, that you have, or intend to, discount the resource resulting from Adams' hard work.

No, I never discounted it, and certainly not "out-of-hand". You may distill from my post that I probably won't use the resource - I've no intention to spend time learning how Windows works and not getting paid for it. I wouldn't assume any Windows person learning Unix if someone made a series of Unix platforms available for testing (I wish someone would - I'd certainly spend time testing modules on platforms I don't have otherwise access to, and I can work with). But that's not dismissing "out-of-hand". The only thing I tried to dismiss was the "no more excuses" - not the service.

Maybe less sensitivities would be inflamed if the OP were to be re-titled along the lines of "One less excuse"

If titled that way from the beginning, there wouldn't have been a reason for me to respond. But retitling it now would make the resulting discussing look strange, wouldn't it?
