I'm a Windows developer, tho I started with Apple, and I am all for increased success for Mac and Linux, cuz MS (or any company)desperately needs competition to keep them moving forward. Mac seems to have finally stopped losing market share, but Linux has a LONG way to go, sadly. Of the last 50000 visitors to my website: 16 were Linux. Even Windows 3.1 beat out Linux. I don't mention this to discourage people, but those are the facts; critical mass is a long ways off. But it is very encouraging to see that people are working on apps that will help Linux reach that point!
