I disagree, Brian. Developers tend to deploy to the OS they develop with? If that's so, there must be a helluva lot of developers working on Windows. They will develop to where the market is.<br><br> You're right in saying that Linux users don't buy commercial apps. This is because:<br><br> - There aren't any to buy.<br> - There are FOSS equivalents to most commercial apps (of wildly varying quality).<br> - Few users who would be inclined to buy a commercial app (home users, artists, photographers) use Linux.
