So, let's ship Microsoft Office with wine facilities. It's what the people
want ;-)

The point here, people are used to top, but that doesn't mean, that people
want top. They only want a  way to know what could be eating all their
memory or CPU.

Actually, top is not something you can trust that much as a measure of that,
OpenSolaris has better tools for achieve that. Explaining the user which
tools should he use for achieve his goals is not hostility at all.

Maybe, what we should do is provide a better top than top. Meanwhile, Tim's
approach is useful. Actually it is not only useful, but the first bunch of
code for Indiana!)
