No they don't. They sell ABM which is just as OS racial as IRON.
I get that LOL means "Laughing Out Loud", but what is ABM? Anti-Ballistic Missile? What is IRON? I build and sell software that runs equally well on Mac, Linux, and Windows. I develop this software using Linux, Mac, and Windows. How exactly is that "OS Racial"?

I still use Microsoft systems, and my skillset would apply to a Microsoft gig which I would consider, especially on the server side. I do prefer open source and wouldn't want to develop an application targeting a single OS. Is this inconsistent somehow?
