Hi,

QGIS, GDAL and OSM users should also remember that there is an excellent
GDAL OSM driver http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_osm.html. I prefer using it together
with Spatialite http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_sqlite.html. Pay attention to
performance hints and handling country wide extracts will be pretty fast.
