> And would he really know the true reasons here? It doesn't look like he was at RedHat, was he actually involved in Gnome 3 development to know the motivations?

OP was at SUSE when they made an agreement with MS touching on this issue. I don't agree with the OP, I think if there was specific pressure of this sort it wouldn't really be a secret or subject to speculation. My point in all of this is simply that the GGP 3 word comment without anything else is not defensible as a constructive comment.
