Neither have I, but I have worked for corporations. Suggest Linux to
most of them and you get the phone slammed in your ear - I could tell
you of experiences, perhaps another time. I bet the mention of support
for other OS's turns out to be Mac only.


I'm a huge linux fan myself, and have it running on all but one of my machiines.  But just to keep this conversation rooted in realty ...

When I look at the web stats for the FlightGear project which is extremely linux and open-source friendly, I see that 97% of all visiters are running, guess what?  Windows!  Only 3% of the web site visitors are running Linux.

Hmmm, if I was just playing the numbers, 3% seems like a pretty small minority.

Now pretend you are a TV show (and not an open-source project)  I suspect that would bias the numbers even *further* in the direction of Windows.

So you are right to get indignant about them only support windows in their video streaming, but at the same time, it's not all that hard to see where they are coming from ...
