Make _customers_ write? Customers don't write applications, they use
them. Developers write applications. If developers write to the wrong
platform, they get no customers and go out of business.
I guess Mono and .NET are a non issue from where I sit (technical and
engineering apps). Nobody writes in .NET and only the clerical staff use
Windows.
