This is no misfortune. 1. It is the spread of free and open source software. Most people will not leave their inherited Windows/Excel environment at all of course, but some who are not ready to jump to Linux are more than ready to support free and open source software in more modest ways. 2. Good cross platform applications help commodify operating systems, making migration across OSs much easier and reinforcing the need for open standards. Please don't disrespect those who made Gnumeric work under windows! They have my thanks.
