I could be a problem the linux community could do nothing about (and still be a problem). But lets see: - maybe a lot of companies dont do it because there is no awareness that customers want it? - maybe companies do not know how to develop cross platform So ppl shd tell manufactures that they would be willing to pay money for linux applications. Also the cross platform development should be smoothed and well documented. Like write a document (and give some talks) how to easily migrate a win32 programm to. Linux and a dot net program. If it is not easy, make it easier. Also do the same for licensing/copyprotection on linux.
