Yes, but that's the problem. RT seems to give up upon positioning IOS
against Groove or Lotus Notes. We've seen no improvements of IOS during
last year, no new reblets released, etc. If such trend will continue,
IOS will die slow death. So I just thought it would be better if some
company would take-over development of IOS, or even better, if RT would
sell IOS concept in terms of SDK, so developers could build various
custom solutions ... licensing scheme above was just an example, it
could be completly different ...
