I'm aware of that. I'm also aware that Studio for Windows costs, what, $500? What do you think the cost would be per Linux developer? I suspect it would be pretty high. Of course, I don't see MM charging $1500-2000 for a text editor, so where would those development costs go? > I've been experimenting with Quanta for a development > platform -- I think it's part of the KDE family of projects. > And while you're right, there aren't a lot of office drones > using Linux as their day to day OS, there are a ton of us > developing on the platform... Of all the CF developers I've met, I'd guess that, oh, 90% minimum are on Windows, whether they like it or not. I'd be perfectly happy, though, if a Linux version of Studio magically appeared (although I'm generally happy using Win2K as my desktop, though I've flirted with Linux from time to time) - but that's not how things work. They cost money, and consume development resources, which might be better spent elsewhere. That's all I was trying to point out.
