Hi, Your second argument is flawed as products built with GCC and other Open Source compilers "DO" run on Windows systems as well at they run on most other systems. Hence such products, do, infact, have a larger scope in the market when compared to products designed in software like VC++ etc. Just my 2 cents worth.
