"All I know is that I am sick of being left out. Crossloop - still no support for linux- but its coming- yeah right- I will believe that when I see it. And Google Chrome- from the people who built their empire on Linux- well at least they came out with an Alpha version for linux, which pretty much sucks and shows how they feel about the importance of linux. There are many, many more similar stories but you get the idea. And don't get me started on games (especially World of Warcraft). I know what some of you are thinking- There is no market for game-makers to sell to- when there is a market there will be games. Hello! did you just read all the dirty tricks MS uses. Its about power, control and dominance - not market. Market share is probably around 5-10%- at least as much as Mac usage- so why is there a Mac version of WOW, and Crossloop for that matter, but no Linux?"
