I've had a few disagreements with Nathann before, but in this case I agree with him. It's probably true that 99% of Windows software would work on Linux if you run it under a virtual machine, but it's not true to say it supports Linux. I run 3 versions of Windows on my OpenSolaris machine (Windows XP 64-bit, Windows XP and Windows 7). Does it really mean all the software I run supports OpenSolaris? I would say NO.
