The rate at which manufacturers are porting programs to *nix is pitiful. Unfortunately, apart from lame internet petitions ('cos they work <em>so</em> well) our only recourse are blog entries like this and to email the companies. They won't do it because they don't believe they can make money from it. I agree. The rate at which manufacturers are porting programs to *nix is pitiful.

Hopefully enough people will start using Linux to cause the companies to change their minds . . . Definitely - and the petitions really _do not work_.

What do they think will happen? Do they think the CEO of the company will call up his team and say "hey, some random stranger on the internet has gathered a bunch of other random strangers together virtually and is begging us to release a Linux version. Now I know you people said there's no money in it and it could bankrupt us, but let's do it and LET's DO IT FOR FREE!" Yeah, 'cos that'll happen. Speak “with extreme prejudice” ;)

Those companies may have a motive for releasing a Linux version in the future, but until then we're not going to have much luck. Wine, Cedega, Crossover Office, Win4Lin, and all the others are gonna remain in fashion for quite a while. At least we have those! ;) This 'no update because no access to wp-admin' thing is getting irritating... I wish I'd set up that 'email to an email address and the email will be posted' feature - that'd come in handy now! :D Precisely.
