When one company has a totally dominant position, it creates barriers to 
entry for other players.  In this case, since Windows is the dominant 
player, many vendors create drivers, software, and websites that are 
only compatible with or tested against Windows.  For example, look at 
network attached DVRs.  Many of them are based on Linux, but you can not 
use Linux to view them as they require a Windows only plugin to decrypt 
the stream.

Think of this as an upstream bug that we can not fix directly.
