For every argument that states that something will "Never" happen there will always be exceptions to blow their theories out of the water. Here is one such case. In the 3D modelling software world, Maya by Autodesk is arguably the "best" 3D modelling program out there for the Film and Gaming industries. It also ranks as one of the most expensive (the base version costs about $2k, and the complete is around $7k) It comes in a linux flavour. That's not to say theres no good alternative open source solution - Blender is one. While it doesn't have the depth of features that Maya has, producing animations in Blender is typically a faster process due to its unique nature. I've also (due to the nature of the open source of linux/blender) been able to integrate Amazon's EC2 directly with my computer so that it becomes a virtual render farm which I can dedicate as many machines to rendering meshes/animations as I like, quickly and easily with little outlay in capital. This is just too damn difficult to do under the other OS's (I will be attempting it under OSX soonish though) Generalisations just don't work IMO.
