I don't agree. Yes, general thoughts and designs should be cross-platform, or rather, should be platform independent, but once a concept is to be realized and implemented, why not select the platform that best lends itself to the success of the concept, be it Linux or Windows. I may be a Windows/.NET guy, but I'm happy to concede some ideas are easier/faster/cheaper developed on Linux, and vice versa.
Why do we have to live in a vanilla world? Sometimes I like chocolate and sometimes I like strawberry. Sometimes I like both. I don't agree with the philosophy of trying to please everyone just to be nice. Let's do what's best for the success of a given idea. -AdamC -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shane Hathaway Sent: Monday, June 19, 2006 11:38 AM To: LDS Open Source Software Subject: Re: [Ldsoss] Linux and Windows--How wide the divide David Wagner wrote: > I would urge everyone here to research the facts on such subjects in > the same manner that you would research the facts on the BoM.

This is just what the Linux users are saying to the Windows users: don't dismiss other operating systems simply because you hold a notion of what users of each operating system are like. Let's build on cross platform technologies, not Windows-centric technologies.
