Great stuff Andy. Yes there will definitely be scope for me to relay back how the 
idea of OS is received at some oficial level. I have actually ran it past a couple 
of people already and their response has been very positive. I want to be sure, 
firstly, that I am using as much in the way of OS as I possibly can and that may 
even involve a fresh install of my Operating System. It would be strange if I didn't 
actually. I'll take a look at those items you have posted too. Thanks !
Jon
