Ok ok ok. It's been something like three hours I've been thinking 
to this.
Clearly I've exposed my **own POV** about some stuff I don't like 
about what Windows is becoming. But for the good of everybody 
(i.e I forget my own little griefs) that would be certainly nice 
to have a certificate for the D fundation. But it won't change 
the fact that once setup quitely thanks to the certificate...the 
language and standard libraries issues are still there ;)
