We would gain much strategic > advantage from this position. Playing "Devil's advocate" for a moment... does "3% of the market" actually constitute "one of the big three" anymore? Even if it's double - does 6%? Personally, if I had to rank platforms in order of importance, I'd probably go: Windows, Linux, BSD, Solaris, OSX.... That's not for me - if it were for me, then I'd go: Windows, Linux, ProjectLookingGlass, and leave it at that. (PLG is the only thing I've seen in the last 3-4 years that even remotely excites me in terms of user experience innovation.) I'm afraid that I'm as guilty as the next developer - the free software that I've developed only runs on the platforms that I use most - namely Windows :-( M. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
