Doesn’t matter, in the end, because it’s the same story for tons of us out there. The company I work at now makes a product that only works on Windows. It’s in most of the power plants in the country. You’ve never heard of us unless you are one of half a dozen people at each power plant. There are thousands and thousands of companies just like mine, cranking out software that only works on Windows.
I think the only thing that will change this trend is the raspberry pi and machines like it. Make it so cheap to equip your employees with a Linux machine that it’s impossible to ignore.
Even then, though, 10 hours of lost productivity a month makes the windows machine the more valuable buy for even a low paid employee.

Yeah, actually, kind of does. It helps us determine if you just bsing and/or shilling, or if there’s really a product out there that does what you say, which in that case I would like to know so I can stay away from it.
Also I do get that there’s defined vertical markets that have a small customer base of sales, and they could target a single OS in the development for the product for that vertical market, but then to use that as an example of a problem that the majority has to deal with is not intellectually honest.
Which one?
