wonder how much of this is pushed by big software vendors? "if OSS systems take hold in the global market, we'll start coding for Linux and not windows." Or maybe MS just fears that happening. If Adobe and Autodesk start porting everything to Linux, MS will loose some serious marketshare really fast. Illustrator and AutoCAD are the only 2 software packages that keep Windows on my sales teams PC's.
Autodesk software on Linux would be a god send to me. As an architect I need to use the software they provide, but it's Windows only software and that reason alone has kept me from being a permanent Linux user.
