This is just childish and you know it. There are insane trillions of dollars worth of data trapped in various Microsoft-owned formats behind Microsoft-controlled APIs, from SQL Server databases to Office documents and Exchange servers. The code doesn't matter, data does, and Microsoft controls a lot of it, so I don't buy your BIOS comparison.
I work at a web startup myself, we sell SaaS to businesses and, unfortunately, they deeply care about their Windows-dependent data,
- axod 18y agoSelling SaaS to businesses is a whole different ball game. I'm talking about consumer facing apps. Companies move ridiculously slowly - one of the reasons for there still being IE6 usage out there. So obviously they are going to stick with Microsoft/desktop apps etc, but the general population won't.
