I still don't understand THAT. Yeah, i've only picked up the thread, 
but in my mind COMPETITION is what business is all about!
Too many developers insist on riding the Windoze bandwagon, despite 
it's faults, rather than paying any attention to competition.
One only has to look at the netscape/explorer debacle to see where MS 
is going. Do they think MS will happily leave them alone?

Just my (frustrated) 2 cents worth.
