Something else to consider is that the lions will always follow the 
herd.  It could be a chicken or the egg thing, but as long as the 
consumer and end user base prefer Windows, that is where you will find 
me writing software for the majority of the time.

Frankly, I like Linux a lot from the bit I've been exposed to over the 
last year or so, but I go where my customers go, which is the line of 
least resistance.

Just a thought.
