If you really think this, then you have no experience running commercial software on multiple platforms. The time spent making software compatible across platforms is way more expensive than the money you gain from selling on that platform. For example, I have some shareware I sell. Brings me about $3000 a month. When I took Windows 2000 off the list, revenues dropped to about $2700 a month. However, about 50% of support requests could now be replied with "Platform not supported" because I could finally use new APIs that were only available on XP. Your idealistic dreamy eyed attitude will be tempered by experience at some point.
