But for those on this list, you might as well forget it -- the HP is not a supported platform [not even linux -- sniff ;( ]

While releasing a development tool for free is generally regarded as a "step in the right direction", is this simply "free as in beer", or will there be a push towards becoming a truly "open" environment? [this is a question for Christina more than anyone else, but hey, it beats a religion thread ;) ]
