Well, it will all depend on the results of that meeting. If it some result 
comes out of it, and MS allows them to use the software, then there is no 
real point in doing it. If however as I suspect, there will be no resolution, 
then it will be necessary to do something.

Even if MS does allow them to use their software, I still think it will be 
good to have a "kids version" of Debian, although it won't be so urgent.
