I would like to modify you signature because I find it 
offensive.

So you have hit no a key point as to why the Power PC is dead 
in the water for the time being, there is no damm mainstream OS 
and apps for it.  Damm emulation doesn't cut it, as you point 
out for NT.  

I have a question for you - do you know if the Cairo beta 
support the standard WIN32 and WIN32c or is it a another 
modified type?

bye
