I don't understand.  Are you saying you don't have time to read it, or
that the average Windows user will not be bothered to read it?

If you are reluctant to read our Recommendations, maybe you will be
interested to read another persons take on them.  He wrote the following
document for Windows users as you describe.  I believe he did an
excellent job.

>People do not read. It's a fact. It has to be easy and colorful. And

Developers read, and they are the only ones who might need to read the
Recommendations.  Software can easily support the Recommendations in a
Yes/No pointy clicky manner.
