I'd be suprised if people like Adobe wouldn't all of a sudden have a
large Linux market share if they would just release their various
software with a Linux version.
Oracle and IBM, for two, seem to be making plenty of dough off of
proprietary Linux software (not to mention Novel/SuSE, RedHat, etc, who
sell "enterprise" linux distributions with some proprietary crap
included in it).

If OS X is
really Unix under the hood, then why do vendors of
several of my high-end applications that are offered in Windoze and
OS X versions all say "We have no plans for a Linux version"?
Because they want to make money?
