Ironically that's the attitude of the ppl: Hey if my app can run on more than 90% of the PC's why the heck shud I give a damn 4 Linux ?
Because not all apps run on PC's, you see. Many/most enterprise apps run on those "servers" running some kind of UNIX. It's great to develop an app on Linux (cost advantage) and then with a little tweaking compile and deploy it on another UNIX-like system (Solaris, BSD, Linux/390, etc.) for your client. That's what many software companies do! And that's also why these ppl (w/ that attitude) find it difficult to get a job after passing out.
I mean when I look around and observe the apps:
The Encyclopedias, MTNL Cdrom, Various Educational CDs VSNL dialer :( Various Cd-roms that come with magazines. GRE CDs
All these apps fall more or less in one category! Let the frog out the well and see the world is bigger (and beautiful).
Everything has Min sys req of Win9x.
Everything? :-)
