     @lstench Part of it is the pay for it nature of most software; they aren't sure we users will buy their products.

     @lstench @mohanpram I also think most big software houses fear losing "partner" status with Microsoft.

     @mohanpram I wish they would hurry up. As much as I like the "cloud", it would be nice to have some desktop software ported over.

     @lstench @mohanpram ... as we can see when #Samsung agrees to make phones with #WP7, which absolutely no one wants.

     Statistics from the humble indie bundle should tell developers something. I've found that most "expert" developers code in .NET

     @lnxwalt280 Well that needs to be reevaluated too as Apple is creeping up on the homefront. Apple lacks a lot of software too.

     I think, there's already too much unfree software, that contaminates free systems.

     @firusvg I know why it means wondering why you feels it contaminates it? Because it brings in non-free elements..
