Hello folks. A local government site here in Toronto, Canada, has an on-line means for people to apply for subsidized housing -- but only if they use the Windows operating system. The site is http://www.housingconnections.ca

I find it both irritating, and a little ironic, that people in need of subsidized housing are required to have expensive proprietary software to utilize the on-line application process.
