I don't know how many people I've shown linux who would convert if only it ran 
iTunes, I've demonstrated the operating system to dozens and it's a comon 
feedback I hear. Itunes is a major application and a huge inhibitor of linux 
adoption.
But unless we get tens of thousands of dollars up front we shouldn't focus 
development effort on a huge attraction to the Linux operating system and lets 
ridicule someone when they do offer monetary support because it isn't 
significant enough.
After all we don't want to vastly increase our potential customer base and 
potentially get several $70 per crossover professional license or $40 per 
standard license fees, but rather wait until someone writes a hefty check to 
port it up front. 

If you build it they will come.
